You’re fighting human nature if you think people aren’t going to be hyper attentive to things like this after the (latest) Max 9 incident. Also, it is not in any way “very bad.” In fact, it’s very good. Plane makers should believe one faulty decision could completely ruin them, that’s how they should be attacking any engineering problems related to putting people in the air. Clearly Boeing’s leadership is ok with putting profits before safety, they need to be shown there is no profit without extremely tight safety margins.

In that case nothing will ever be done, improved or innovated. The optimal is close, but greater than zero on faulty decisions.


Inaction/no decision is a decision too, although that idea is often a surprisingly hard sell in the media.
