the other side of the Boeing saga is the role the Federal Aviation Administration(FAA) has played in conniving with Boeing to implement their lax standards.

The FAA is corrupt, it has been in Boeing's pocket for far too long. The FAA now has neither the expertise nor the inclination to properly investigate complaints against aircraft manufacturers, Boeing or anyone else.

The biggest problem with the FAA is the fundamental conflict of interest in the way it has been set up.
The FAA has a dual role:
(a) to safeguard aircraft safety standards and integrity
(b) to promote the aircraft industry.
How are they supposed to do both? If ensuring (a) they will sometimes adversely affect (b).

But that's the modern state of the US - a total cock-up and getting worse.
