Says the FAA Designated Engineering Representative who is a full time Boeing employee who has a workplace on Boeing's campus.
Its been so fucking obvious for at least 10 years to anyone who works at Boeing or even just knows someone who does and talks to them somewhat in depth about it that the entire situation they have with the FAA is a fucking joke with almost 0 actual functioning mechanisms for accountability.
Then you've also got the completely insane relationship between their sub contractors and the actual main assembly/inspection lines.
Nobody is ever responsible for anything going wrong, but you'll get as close to blackballed as possible if you actually assign blame to someone for fucking up.
Just a bureaucratic nightmare of redtape that takes weeks to untangle, and then when you actualy do that and figure out who actually broke a procedure, whlo is actually responsible, it fucking doesn't matter bec7ause everyone else involved is lying and going behind your back to keep everything from grinding to a halt.
Iirc the FAA faced budget cuts so let Boeing police themselves, which is dumb at best.
But whoever decided that the FAA (and every other American regulatory agency) should have their budget cut is at fault here.
That would be the Republican politicians who were bought by Boeing and then cut the funding to the FAA
