> This is, like, the most ridiculous industry possible to demand more regulation of.

And yet, we got hundreds of people dead because Boeing by all accounts clearly isn't regulated enough - and cut corners because airlines wanted to maintain their pilot type ratings.

This should not have happened, at all.

1. The Boeing 737-Max crashes had nothing to do with maintenance, which is what the original poster was concerned about.

2. Arguably, these crashes were due to the FAA's failure to apply existing regulations, not a lack of adequate regulation in the first place! I don't have any problem with better funding for the FAA to do their job effectively.
