FYI: Schiavo is sharp and, probably not saying all she suspects.

This has the potential to "have legs".

Another FYI, like a number of agencies under Trump there are layers of personnel that have been
left vacant at FAA and Department of Transportation in general.

Elwell, as opposed to the horrible situation at FEMA, has experience.

Prior to serving as Acting Administrator, Mr. Elwell was the Deputy Administrator of the FAA. President Trump announced the appointment of Mr. Elwell as the Deputy Administrator in June 2017 and he was sworn in to office on June 26, 2017.Elwell previously served at the FAA as the Assistant Administrator for Policy, Planning, and Environment from 2006-2008. Most recently, he was Senior Advisor on Aviation to U.S. Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao. Earlier in his career, he served as a legislative fellow for the late Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska).

Chao is The Turtle's wife.

Although this whole situaiton has been mismanged by Trump.....the seeds go back to W and Obama.

If there's another government shutdown, look for a good many air traffic comptrollers. to bail. They have
to retire by age 56 in any case.

I recommend walking.

Read this 4 year old article about hacking an airliner. The Boeing 737 Max is mentioned.

How would you like to be one of the software engineers at Boeing who wrote the code which ultimately failed several hundred people who died in the two crashes.
Oooops.

That would suck.

It's a little more complicated than just a software bug, from what I've read it was a combination of factors including young pilots, the Ethipian Airlines low-budget stripped down package and lack of training with the 737 Max. The aircraft has some inherent quirks due to the position of the CFM turbofans, which had to be pushed forward and up vs older 737s in order to allow for greater ground clearance due to the CFMs increased width vs older jet engine designs (the wider the fan, the better the fuel consumption).

Can a Boeing 730 MAX be modified to serve as Air Force One?

Can a Boeing 737 MAX be successfully modified to serve as Air Force One?

New exterior Paint.
Interior redesign in gold leather.
Bed in back.
TVs with only foxnews and radios with only Rush Limbaugh.
But no need to upgrade the software.

I think that's what he meant.

My main takeaway is that Europeans (and others??) don't trust the FAA on this...at all.

QUESTION: is there a way of changing the title to a thread? I know I can set up a new thread and then "copy and paste" the posts, but that would leave the old title out there.

(I'm not implying anything by this ...it is what it is)
FAA is within DOT which is headed by Elaine Chou who is Mitch McConnell's (aka Turtle) wife.

Based on my personal experience, I think you can change the title of a thread up until the point in time the first comment to the thread is posted. After that, the thread title exits in cyberspace, unchangeable like the chiseled Ten Commandments, until the end of time.

Secretary Chao has appointed a special review committee to review the FAA's certification process but some say it may not be enough.

"Come Fly With Me". Uh, not.

Are you saying Chao's husband is a red eared slider?
AKA a Vegan?

(I had to look up "red eared slider". A nickel reward for fingering the suspect. (Don't linger on that image
...just go with it)

No Vegan I've ever seen looks remotely like
