I'm wondering how other certification agencies will react.

Specifically after more and more of the incestuous relationship between the FAA and Boeing comes to light.

Including claims that experienced engineers, which were in charge for certain certifications were demoted or fired if they were too critical or outright refused to certify certain sub systems as was reported in the Seattle Times[1]

It seems that since 2004 engineers in charge of certification were stopped to communicate directly with techies at the FAA, but reported to their managers, which in turn communicated with the FAA.

He who pays the piper calls the tune.
