And what, if not engagement in tribalism, is focusing on "DEI efforts" when we have explicit data that increased delegation of certification to vendors and related changes were official policy of specific US president?
Just like Turkish Airlines Flight 981 was indirectly, but very very strongly, related to policy set by another american president - it just happened that TAF 981 managed to crash before the president who set that policy left the office.
And the regulation mean that Boeing can loose even the ability to sell what they have if they do not maintain quality as necessary.
