    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.
