Before Deadly Crashes, Boeing Pushed for Law That Undercut Oversight
Pretty obvious, but maybe not clear from the headline: the Max was certified under the old rules.<p>At this point, not sure it matters - it seems like lessons have been learned and overseas regulators (certainly the EASA) will never just rubber stamp the FAA again.  The net effect is Boeing looking at significantly more regulatory overhead than ever before.<p>Maybe having multiple, independent regulators reviewing designs will better address these issues than any legislative requirements ever could.
