Now throw-in a President* who cannot complete two sentences without lying, an FAA dedicated to $$more-Moar-MORE for 'shareholders' (And the high cost/mile of modrin Rail Fares): is any of this surprising in the least?
tl;dr: Mammon (Drumpf's only 'god') Trumps all reason.

[not merely employing ∱eare as DJT's raison d'etre): now Be Very Afraid! is merely common-sense. It's a fucking circle-jerk!
(Not having flown since pre-9/11, I cannot escape vivid recollection of that utter-Idiot-child) in the RH-seat of the plane crashed in Atlantic [all pitot tubes iced-up] via this Idiot's having held his (invisible-to-PIC! ) bloody Airbus fly-by-wire JOYSTICK ...
all-the-way to Max-climb: all the way down from Angels 30 ... perfectly stalled==like a rock, (descending like a bloody-heavy leaf).
Somebody Certified this tyro/killed all those people. Prolly never stand trial.
(Had one of Mine deceased via that mis-Certification, $$$ would have been spent in finding out the SIG on that Certificate and suing accordingly.)
I wonder if any of the bereaved DID?
Airbus lacks the simple MAJOR PRINCIPLE in cockpit design: that BOTH pilots' controls must be VISIBLE TO BOTH: AND mechanically-or via whatever means, LINKED so that there is TACTILE-awareness which cannot be compromised (aka: NO JOYSTICKS placed at ass-level/incognito to each other)
I know the odds, likely shall have occasion to fly next (never in Airbus natcha), still: Boeing's first secret-fly-by-wire MOD bodes ill for all future 'odds'. Oh. Well. :-)
Carrion, sometimes it has initials, like 'FAA' + Mammon.
