  4. Is an air travel recovery realistic? The best-case scenarios have a vaccine becoming widely available in the spring, still months away, and some travel may never return. So good luck to Boeing and the Max. They’re going to need it

  5. Whatever the risks were around this airplane, the FAA has found and evaluated them. Why the agency didn’t do this from the start is a different question that features prominently in a congressional push for reforms to the FAA’s relationship with companies

  6. After the longest grounding of an aircraft in modern U.S. history, it’s natural to ask: Is the plane actually safe? The short answer is yes. The FAA’s fixes go beyond the software that was blamed for the catastrophes

    Great interview from on the key question of how trustful we should be of 2 months of safety data. WHO guidance is minimum 3 months I think. If approved, we need very robust monitoring systems (wrote about that here: )
