Canada and the EU have already lost trust in the FAA. They're going to certify the Max and probably other planes more independently now.

As a consumer, I'm happy to have more oversight on the planes.

As a Boeing shareholder, I'd be pissed the company demolished the trust that allowed for a lot of cost savings during the certification phase.

Time and time again, we see that companies are terrible at self-regulation. They'll abuse it to save pennies today at the cost of dollars and lives tomorrow.
