Ua koho ʻia ka luna mua o nā hana lele no Delta Air Lines e Pelekikena Trump e hoʻokele i ka Federal Aviation Administration, ke nānā ʻia nei i kēia manawa no ka ʻae ʻana i ka Boeing 737 MAX 8 e lawe i nā mea kaʻa.
ʻO Steve Dickson, ka mea i noho 27 mau makahiki me Delta ma mua o kona haʻalele ʻana i ʻOkakopa ma ke ʻano he pelekikena poʻokela poʻokela o nā flight ops, ke hui pū nei ʻo ia me ka ʻoihana i waena o kona wā kūpikipiki loa o ka wā i hala aku nei, me ke kākau ʻōlelo ʻo Elaine Chao e noi ana i kahi loiloi o kāna palapala hōʻoia no ka mokulele, ʻelua o lākou i komo i nā ulia weliweli i loko o nā mahina ʻelima i hala.
ʻOiai ʻo Dickson ka inoa e pili ana i ka noonoo ʻia mai Nowemapa, ua ʻae ʻo Trump i ka FAA e hele me ka ʻole o ke poʻo kūhelu no hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ka manawa o ka luna luna o Obama-era ʻo Michael Huerta. ʻO Daniel Elwell, ka mea i alakaʻi i ka FAA ma lalo o George W. Bush, ke holo nei i ka ʻoihana i kahi manawa kūʻokoʻa me ka hōʻoia ʻole ʻia e ka Senate.
ʻO ke kāne mai Delta ke poʻo mua o ka FAA i loko o ʻekolu mau makahiki i hele pololei mai i ka hana mai kahi kūlana mokulele kiʻekiʻe - kahi ʻano o ke kumu no Trump, nāna i hōʻuluʻulu i nā lālā o ka ʻaha kuhina mai nā kūlana o ʻAmelika ʻoihana i nā limahana ka nā ʻoihana i hana ʻia me ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i kā lākou mau haku hana ma mua. ʻO ke kākau ʻōlelo kūpale kiaʻi ʻo Patrick Shanahan, ka mea i hana ma mua no Boeing, hoʻokahi wale nō manawa o ia koho.
Aia ka FAA i lalo o ke ahi no ka ʻae ʻana iā Boeing e alakaʻi i nā ʻāpana koʻikoʻi o kāna hana palekana ponoʻī a me kāna hana hōʻoia. ʻO kahi hui o nā ʻenekini o kēia manawa a me nā ʻenekini ʻelua o ka mea hoʻokele a me ka mea hana mokulele i koi ua lawe wale ka FAA i ka ʻōlelo a Boeing e palekana ana kā lākou mokulele hou - kahi nānā a nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe i ʻōlelo ʻia e hoʻonui ʻia e ka hoʻokolohua liʻiliʻi ʻana o kā lākou ponoʻī, me ka manaʻo o ka kiaʻi US ʻaʻole i hōʻoia i kahi mokulele palekana. Hoʻopiʻi ʻia ʻo Boeing no ka "ʻoki ʻana i nā kihi" e hōʻoia koke i ka mokulele i mea e hoʻokūkū ai me ka Airbus A320 Neo hou - ma waena o lākou, ʻo Airbus lāua ʻo Boeing ka mahele o ka liona o nā mokulele mokulele āpau āpau - a no ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻole ʻana i nā pailaka e hana pū nā ʻōnaehana onboard.
Ua hāʻule ʻo Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 ma mua o kēia mahina ma hope koke iho o ka haʻalele ʻana mai Addis Ababa e hele ana i Nairobi, a luku ʻia nā poʻe 157 a pau o ka moku ma hope o ka luʻu ʻana me ka manaʻo ʻole ʻia i kahi māla. ʻO ia ka lua o Boeing 737 Max 8 e hālāwai me ia hopena ma lalo o ʻeono mau mahina, a ua kuhikuhi nā mea noiʻi i "nā like like" ma waena o kēia ulia a me ka Lion Air Flight 610 pōʻino i ʻOkakopa, a make 189 poʻe.
