Considering Boeing already participates or works in tandem with the FAA to write the rules, it is pretty sick they are trying to work around the rules. This is all about profit and they are doubling down, likely due to contract obligations with Southwest and others that this plane will not require a new type rating or any sim. time. Lets hope EASA actually reviews this rather than the FAA letting boeing self audit ...
I'd like to see the EASA ban 737max flights over Europe permanently, by requiring them to have a new type rating for the aircraft, which Boeing won't do. They should also criminally prosecute Boeing executives, in absentia if necessary, and seize Boeing assets in Europe.
