FAA Says Boeing Can Decide Whether Or Not Its Planes Are Safe, Again

The FAA will release its grip over Boeing's manufacturing processes, once more allowing the aerospace giant to self-certify its own planes for safety.
In response to those incidents, the FAA yanked Boeing's certification rights for the company's most popular plane, the 737 Max, in 2019.
Then in 2022, due to "production quality issues," the agency also pulled the company's right to certify its largest plane, the 787 Dreamliner.
That went well enough for the FAA to try a strange compromise process in September, whereby the FAA and Boeing would trade off certifying newly manufactured aircraft every other week.
After months of this, the agency has "seen comparable production quality findings" between the Boeing weeks and the FAA weeks.
