Investigators examining a Federal Aviation Administration whistleblower complaint have found that the federal agency misled Congress, The Washington Post reports. The complaint charges that safety inspectors who worked on training requirements for Boeing 737 MAX pilots were “under-qualified” and that the FAA provided misleading information about the problem to Congress. The complaint calls into question the FAA’s transparency and safety oversight, which has come under new scrutiny after a pair of fatal accidents involving Boeing 737 MAX jets that killed 346 people. Recent findings show the FAA had handed Boeing autonomy on a number of tasks that it should have overseen. Both Boeing and the FAA have faced increasing criticism that they had not adequately trained pilots to handle an allegedly faulty automated system on the 737 MAX jets.

1. The FAA provided misleading information about the problem to Congress

They don't give a flying fuck about human lives - this is madness.
Lock them Up for lying to Congress.

2. "they don't give a flying fuck"

Very on the nose malaise. I never would have guessed the FAA would cover for a company and lie to Congress... Why? Is Boeing paying people to stay quiet? What benefit would the FAA get for doing this? Doesn't make any sense.

7. Covering for the Con's friends at Boeing

Damn

3. Trusting corporations to do the right thing for the general public is like....

trusting a rattle snake not to bite when stepped on.

* Corporations value profits over people and moral values, and
* Republicans value corporations over people and moral values.

Therefore, when Rethugs are in charge of government agencies....

* corporations are allowed to self-monitor and self-regulate, and
* people and moral values lose and corporations win.

Feel free to draw a logic chart of my coffee time rant.....

6. Shocking, isn't it? Certainly not. Fish rots from the head down.

Fish rots from the head down. Ask Elaine Chou, Transportation Secretary, wife of Moscow Mitch, Chinese "facilitator" and who know what other kind of -tator she truly is as duo to Mitch!
