Only because you allow them to do fucking anything unsupervised, unannounced, with zero subjugation to witness and publication of all scientific knowledge, not to even start on the invention , design, and of course the final and primary purpose of such necessary chronic observation by the masses, their purpose and objective.

Just another proof that it doesn’t matter who you are, and what you do. Corporate America will fuck you over in every way it possibly can

The retaliation isn’t even the story here. Interference with delegated FAA responsibilities is, and the FAA should be handling it. Any type of delegation interference is a serious issue.

Regulatory capture, it’s a problem through the government. Decades ago U.S. regulatory agencies were well respected around the world, to the point where if a U.S. body approved something, many other countries automatically followed. Now they’re a joke, taking orders from the industries they are supposed to oversee.

I mean, yeah. But from someone in the industry, delegation is fucking huge and we wouldn’t fly without it.

Take my words for what they’re worth: not much. I’ve been a delegated source inspector for GE and I’ve dealt with delegated FAA peeps and auditors. Delegation is a big deal. You basically don’t work for your employer while you’re in a delegated role. The idea of either interfering or retaliating for delegated authority is insane. Especially with FAA delegation.

Every time a regulator is hired by a company that they formerly regulated, there should be a full audit looking for any conflicts of interest in their entire time at the regulator. And charges on both sides of the bribery equation if any are found, including both the company itself and any employees, executives, and owners involved or who had knowledge of it and didn’t step forward.

And if the company has policies that make it less likely that evidence is found, then go after everyone who was involved in making or approving those policies.

Without my glasses, I thought the thumbnail was some kind of ape. I blurred this screenshot a little to simulate.

Those poor executives had to endure a very uncomfortable conference call before getting on the party bus headed for the golf course. I know cause I book some of those rides and I can assure all you peasants that they’re VERY concerned about your rent.

Starting to think it’s about time for all the families of folks killed by capitalist decisions to invest in pitchforks and request some of those stock buyback dividends live and in person.
