We, or at least I, don't have any faith in the FAA. It seems they are cheerleaders for Boeing. That's what it sounds like. They have praised the Max, stating that it's the safest plane ever. This is after they've done the fix. There is no way it will ever be as safe as its predecessor variant, the NG, because of this eccentricity that's built into the plane. There are a lot more issues here that will complicate the flight of that plane.
We do not have any trust or faith in their process either. In 2005 they changed the process to allow Boeing—I should say the manufacturer—a lot more liberties in certifying the plane, and in this case the FAA basically handed over 90% of the certification plans to Boeing in the end to certify that plane, which raises another question: What other things are left on that plane that we don't know about? What has been certified by Boeing that Transport Canada has no idea about?
I have a lot of questions and skepticism about the American process of certification.
