Not in America. Where the FAA has jurisdiction.

The article questions whether Trump's successful efforts to roll back regulations played a role in how this plane was approved and certified for sale to the public in very simple layman's terms. Amazingly enough I'm not an airline expert.

And yet they seem to stay in the sky in America, FAA's jurisdiction. Is Boeing knowingly selling bad planes to poor countries? Are they cutting corners for poor countries? Maybe (I doubt it). I don't see how the FAA can be held responsible for planes going down in other countries.

Yet Boeing is making changes to the plane's software to try to make it safer to fly. I'd guess that training plays a role as well.

...and NOTHING to do with the FAA. I think we are heading towards agreeing.

FAA approved the initial software that seems to have played a role in two recent crashes and they will approve the software fix. Again, not an airline expert but I'd guess that FAA plays a role in approving training methods for these planes. Are you a pilot or work for the FAA?

Neither. I am the board's aviation expert. The FAA is responsible for planes flown in the USofA. To my knowledge, none have crashed recently.

Perhaps the FAA has more responsibilities and liabilities than you are aware of.

Are you saying the FAA is responsible for planes flying their complete routes outside of the US? Holy **** that's a bad break for us.

So you're suggesting... a process which began over 6 years ago, is somehow Trump's fault?

I believe the FAA has regulatory responsibility over the manufacturing of planes built in the US including the appropriate testing and certification before delivery of an order to any company regardless of country.
