Whitaker To Explain FAA Role In Door Plug Mishap

Hi, LarryS. Thanks for the epithets. Any suggestions to help improve the situation?

Friedman would probably advocate for the system that was in place at Boeing - let the manufacturer largely self-regulate, and let the market decide whether their product is safe enough to consume. That may work (in theory) for hair driers or electric shavers, but when the test of the effectiveness of the company’s QA is an aluminum tube holding 200 precious souls at 39,000 ft, I would prefer a review from a set of eyes that answers to the public, not the company.
