@Golfsohard Got to do with the sway Boeing has over FAA – they bully them to submission with political pressure and “self-approval” as they did with the prior 900 Max crashes. The FAA is toothless until after an incident happens. On top of that Boeing fired/laid off a lot of qualifiesd QA folks who had been with Boeing for decades and replaced them with cheaper new hires who lack the experience. Its the PE Chairman who is responsible for this malaise at Boeing when he did a lot of cuts when he was CEO – his legacy shld be one of murder!
