Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

MODERATORS
The reason the 737 has been redesigned and retooled and extended so many times is that certifying an entirely new airframe with the FAA is a wildly expensive and time consuming process. I'm not denying that Boeing has a lot of influence, but they clearly don't own the organization that has been such a pain in their ass in the first place.
I assume you meant 737.
I'll remind you that pain in the ass was specifically protecting the public from everything the 737 Max has become. Now we see what happens once GWB et al have permitted 'self-certification' by Boeing-designated FAA proxies, on Boeing's payroll.
What a low-quality take, holy shit.
He called them a pain in Boeing's ass. He did not claim nor imply that was a bad thing. It wasn't a low quality take, you just lack reading comprehension.
The other guy thought it was too much of a pain in the ass to even spell 737 correctly tho. But yes, some things absolutely should be a pain in the ass. Like when something going even slightly wrong will likely kill someone.
"Oh wahming's such a pain in the ass, that's why we love him".
"Wahming's being a pain in the ass, it's so great."
Yep. Reading comprehension.
Jeez.
He called the FAA a pain in Boeing's ass, a company we hate. Not a pain in ours. Especially in the original context where he was denying that Boeing controls the FAA. How are you not getting it.
Some combination of being tired and too many to-dos.
My comment was more about how the FAA had been coopted by the enemy, and it seemed like the guy was lambasting how expensive getting airframes certified by the FAA was, as if it was anything but an important and necessary expense. On re-read it still seems like that, but I also don't care, don't know you and also don't care.
Not just that, but all the tooling and manufacturing space needed is insanely expensive. The max mostly just needed tooling for the nacelles/pylons.
