Not going into details of aircraft certification, I am only loosly involved there, but the FAA and the EASA actually allow certifies manufacturers to do a lot of the certification work on aithorities behalf. Calling that collusion is plain ignorant.

>>hef198+(OP)
A privilege which was thoroughly abused here, becoming de-facto collusion.

>>mannyk+i2
Oh man, collusion requires two parties, not one abusing trust of the other. Kind of pointless so to discuss any further so, it seems.

>>hef198+7f
The way Boeing and the FAA worked together in this case abused the trust put in them (and especially the latter) by the general public.

Your attempt to portray me as clueless is backfiring rather spectacularly.
