The way it works for aircraft is that now it's getting prohibitively expensive to design new planes. But new planes are still needed, so Boeing found a solution, and made the 737-MAX which is in theory an upgrade that does not require re-certification, but is in fact different enough that the differences lead to hundreds of deaths.
Perhaps without the certifications lots more people would have died. I'm just an armchair analyst. Just food for thought.
- gorft 2y agoUh, the MAX was a disaster because Boeing is run by MBAs instead of engineers. Regulation is why air travel is remarkably safe. Those rules are written in blood, something everyone here conveniently seems to forget.
- lucianbr 2y agoSo you write regulations for software development, but software companies run by MBAs instead of engineers can still cause disasters. I guess as long as disasters are rare, it's a win. Is Fujitsu run by engineers?
