The FAA, citing lack of funding and resources, has over the years delegated increasing authority to Boeing to take on more of the work of certifying the safety of its own airplanes.[...]
But several FAA technical experts said in interviews that as certification proceeded, managers prodded them to speed the process. Development of the MAX was lagging nine months behind the rival Airbus A320neo. Time was of the essence for Boeing.[...]
"There was constant pressure to re-evaluate our initial decisions," the former engineer said. "And even after we had reassessed it ... there was continued discussion by management about delegating even more items down to the Boeing Company."[..]
"There wasn't a complete and proper review of the documents," the former engineer added. "Review was rushed to reach certain certification dates." [...]
Minimizing MAX pilot transition training was an important cost saving for Boeing's airline customers, a key selling point for the jet, which has racked up more than 5,000 orders.
Is it true the merger between Douglas and Boeing was a tragedy for Boeing ? After the merger Douglas told Boeing 'Quantity is more important than Quality' setting Boeing up for a disaster ? Research the Boeing Plant In Washington State and the difference in South Carolina's Boeing Plant. Some airlines refused to take delivery from planes built in South Carolina.The Al Jazeera undercover expose on said plant filmed workers being asked if they would fly on the planes they build, overwhelmingly, the answer was NO.
INSANITY!
