The report, which was authored by five aviation industry insiders, in some instances quotes previous FAA talking points word-for-word.Produced in consultation with other pilots, engineers and managers at Boeing, FAA and beyond, the panel urges regulators not to “systematically dismantle” the system, charging that it could jeopardize “the remarkable level of safety that has been attained in recent decades,” according to the report and its executive summary.
“Critics often refer to delegation as ‘self-certification’ and argue that there is an inherent conflict of interest when employees of the company whose products are being certified are the ones performing some of the certification activities, thereby creating a regulatory blind spot,” the report said. “This interpretation is inaccurate.”
The report goes on to argue that the delegation system — which has existed in some form for decades — boosts safety, allows the FAA to focus on “the most critical certification areas” and has been expanded by Congress. “Without delegation or a significant increase in technical resources, the FAA would not be able to keep up with innovation and new designs, and would suppress industry under a regulatory backlog,” the report said.
The Secretary of the DOT chairs the committee that exonerates the FAA, part of the DOT...how convenient. How about an independent investigation? Until there is one, if this plane flies again I won't be flying on it.
Bullshit.
Put that bitch on one of those planes, since it’s “safe to fly.”
Remember this face
Self exoneration is no exoneration at all - just as self acquittal is actually an admsssion of guilt!
She and McConnell are as compromised and corrupt as they come. She should have been fired years ago.
The SWAMP
No one should get on these planes until there’s a real investigation
Does any Cabinet member have a conscience? No.
Elaine Chao is corrupt like her husband. That's how she got her position. This is how the McConnell's get rich. They come first, Americans come last.
Of course they did
I wonder if Boeing made a political donation to certain Government employees?
Partisan interference by Chao. I don't believe this document for one second. Chao should be impeached.
QPQ?
Corruption
And guess who heads the Dept. of Transportation? Moscow Mitch's wifey dearest, Elaine Chao.👹
This woman is the wife of Moscow Mitch from an administration that favors over the truth. Can smell Trump' order to get the big Boeing off the hook. To show confidence in Boeing, Trump and his entire cabinet should fly across the country in a max to encourage people to fly
FAANews Boeing Still not flying on one after this sham report
Chao was put in this position because she is McConnell's wife-no real experience or knowledge of her post. no surprise that she messed up & that cost people's lives. time for her to step down & time that someone is put in her place with the necessary experience to run the agency.
Follow the money !!
This is not right 🙄🙄
THE TRUMP REGIME, AG BARR, & THE 'DEPRAVED' REPUBLICAN PARTY HAVE VERY SERIOUS ISSUES... 'NEO-NAZIs' growing in this REGIME should not be allowed any power or authority over Americans!
SecElaineChao There must be money in it for Chao. Everything she does is for money. Boeing is totally responsible for the failure of their aircraft, it’s software and training of the Max-8
Just checking, You prefer that political appointees override industry engineers?
What do you expect from the wife of McCornhole?
Corruption. Also known as “McConnellization”. (💰)
More corruption and saying everything is all right. Guess the didn’t get the Boeing internal memos. Recommend Chao and her husband just fly only on the plane if it is so safe!
I guess Mrs. McConnell and her turtle husband just put more money in their pockets.
How much has senatemajldr net worth gone up over the past handful of years?
Oh Mrs. McConnell.... That explains it... No evidence... No witnesses.... Aqcuit at all cost....
industry-led
You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.... Trump didn’t tweet anything.... NTSB... A big con too ?....
Blood on her hands. Shameful!
She’s McConnell’s wife! Would you expect transparency and a non bias ruling
She’s one of them😳😡
Huh?
Last month news
boeing needs to get its act together.
Well she is married to senatemajldr so of course she has no morals and is totally corrupt chao
Really? MoscowMitchMcConnell on Boeing’s board? How much stock does SecElaineChao ‘s family own. Always corruption, deceit & self-serving. A government no one can trust. ObamaWasBetterAtEverything
So, they want Boeing to continue self regulating? How much was chao paid to defend this?
Partly because Mitch McConnell and his wife are very corrupt.
Oh, oh, I'm afraid Ms Chao (Senator McConnell's wife) is not an unbiased person for this enquiry. Too much money from lobbyists go into her and her husband's pockets to be unbiased.
Effective enough to have several hundred people die.
