Accepting blame is totally inadequate when so many lives were lost. What guarantee is there that the remedies being put into place will not fail again ?
Mr Muilenburg about time you got back to your roots in Seattle. You are not close enough to the problems.
Instead of all the blame going around, now is the time for FAA/Boeing to work together stronger than ever to before prevent such a future event. Put aside bureaucracy, get into a room, find the problem and offer a safe solution. No one wants a complete, separate certification body, the costs and delays associated with it. They just need be smarter in their process and controls around certification.
I think their integrity (Boeing and FAA) is now questionable. That's why Ethiopia didn't want the NTSB to handle the investigation. They wanted a non-American entity.
Slightly off topic, but it needs to be said, the governing party currently wants to privatize all branches of government over site regardless of how critical it is to us people. The FAA is merely one but important facet of this privatization.
Not just off-topic, but a clear attempt to politicize a non-political post.
Typical.

Working in aerospace myself as a Boeing supplier I just can’t understand how this could have happened. All the testing involved in cirtificstion. The 737 has been around since the late 1960’s many versions produced. It’s a great airplane.
