Anybody else getting a strong sense the FAA and Boeing and repeating the Nixon Administration? Boeing rather the MD, but there isn't really any difference there
I can remember the late 60's and early 70's when the FAA decided they couldn't afford to do all the inspections and development oversight and so "designated" aircraft company engineers to oversee their own work and certify products as airworthy. On top of that, safety issues that had an impact on sales or prices were handled by "gentlemen's agreements" rather that airworthyness directives -- with the result that several totally preventable accidents killed quite a few people. They say everything that goes out of style comes back eventually, but this is one I'd just as soon not see again! _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
