Boeing has requested an exemption from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regarding two Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) provisions related to the Stall Management Yaw Damper (SMYD) system on the 737 MAX 7 and 737 MAX 10, neither of which have yet been certified by the regulator.

You are fucking kidding me. These guys cost hundreds of lives with a barely certified, Extremely badly thought and completely undocumented software feature and now they are asking that their other new software feature go completely uncertified when it is possibly THE most important feature of any plane??? Boing sure has inherited every bad trait of McDonald Douglass and somehow made them worse.

If the FAA even so much as consider this there is no hope left. The only way this should be granted is if Trump steps in personally to overrule and be better be blamed for every death this causes. Absolutely horrible stuff all around
