Amaflaya Amalungelo e-FAA: Phula isivumelwano semfihlo neBoeing, khipha imibhalo engama-737 MAX

UkuBhebhana ifake isiphakamiso seSummary Judgement ecaleni laso le-Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) elibhekene necala FAA. (Flyers Rights Education Fund v. FAA, (DDC CV-19-3749 (CKK)). Ifuna ukudalulwa kwemibhalo ye-FAA ephathelene nokuvalwa okuhlongozwayo kwe-737 MAX, ukuze ochwepheshe abazimele kanye nomphakathi bakwazi ukubuyekeza isisekelo lapho I-FAA ihlose ukuvimba indiza. 

Izindiza ezimbili zeBoeing 737 MAX zaphahlazeka ezinyangeni ezinhlanu zodwa ngasekupheleni kuka-2018 nasekuqaleni kuka-2019, kwashona bonke abagibeli nabasebenzi abangu-346. IFlyersrights.org, okuyinhlangano enkulu yabagibeli bezindiza, yafaka icala le-FOIA ngoDisemba 2019 ngemuva kokuthi i-FAA inganaki noma yenqaba izicelo eziningi ze-FOIA zemibhalo engama-737 MAX. 

Isicelo sokudalulwa kwe-FAA sisekelwa uhlu olubanzi lochwepheshe abazimele bezindiza nezintshisekelo, kufaka phakathi:

• UMichael Neely (iminyaka engama-20 noBoeing njengonjiniyela wohlelo nonjiniyela wephrojekthi), 

• UJavier de Luis PhD (iminyaka engama-30 yokuhlangenwe nakho njengonjiniyela wezindiza nomphathi, umfundisi weMIT), 

• URichard Spinks (iminyaka engama-38 yokuhlangenwe nakho ekuphepheni kwenqubo, ubunjiniyela be-automation),  

• UDennis Coughlin (iminyaka engama-31 yesipiliyoni njengochwepheshe we-avionics nomfundisi),

• U-Ajit Agtey (iminyaka engama-40 yokuhlangenwe nakho njengomshayeli wezindiza nowezempi, nowayenguMphathi Omkhulu Wokuhlola Umkhosi Wezindiza ZaseNdiya),

• UDaniel Gellert (iminyaka engama-50 njengomshayeli wendiza yezentengiselwano, umshayeli we-Boeing test, kanye nesikhulu se-FAA),

• UGeoffrey Barrance (isipiliyoni seminyaka engama-30 njenge-avionics, uzimele womoya nonjiniyela wezokuphepha),

• UGregory Travis (iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-30 enolwazi njengososayensi / umphathi wesoftware yekhompyutha, umshayeli wangasese),

• UChesley “Sully” Sullenberger (isipiliyoni seminyaka engama-37 njengomshayeli wendiza nomshayeli wamasosha, iminyaka eyi-10 njengomxhumanisi nombhali wezokuphepha kwezindiza, kugujwa ngokufika ngempumelelo kwendiza yabakhubazekile eMfuleni i-Hudson River),

• Michael Goldfarb (iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-30 enolwazi njengomxhumanisi wezokuphepha kwezindiza kanye nowayengumphathi wenqubomgomo yezokuphepha kwezindiza e-FAA), futhi 

• USara Nelson, umongameli wenhlangano enkulu kunazo zonke yabasebenzi bezindiza i-Association of Flight Attendants AFA.

Ngokubambisana, labachwepheshe banolwazi olungaphezu kweminyaka engama-400. Bonke bagomela ukuthi akunakwenzeka ukunquma ukuthi ukungalindwa okulindile kwe-MAX kuphephile ngaphandle kokudalulwa kwemininingwane yokulungiswa kwe-Boeing MAX nokuhlolwa kwe-FAA. 

Ngokuqhubeka kwezinyanga eziyi-7, i-FAA ikhiqize imibhalo elinganiselwa ku-100 (ngaphezu kwamakhasi angama-8,000), abekade enqunyiwe ngokuphelele noma acishe aqedwa ngokuphelele ngezizathu zemininingwane yokuphathelene (i-FOIA Exemption 4). Le mibhalo ibandakanya imininingwane engajwayelekile ukubhekwa njengeyokuphathelene, njengezindlela zokuhambisana nomthethonqubo wenhlangano.

UPaul Hudson, uMongameli weFlyersRights.org nommeli wezokuphepha ezindizeni isikhathi eside, uphethe ngokuthi, “Ukuphahlazeka okubili okungu-737 MAX kukhombe ukuphela kokubusa kwe-FAA njengezinga legolide lokuphepha kwezindiza. I-737 MAX debacle iveze ukuthi ubuholi be-FAA buthathwe yimboni. Kusukela ngoMashi 2019, i-FAA neBoeing baqinisekise umphakathi kaningi ukuthi kuzoba sobala ngokugcwele. ”

“AbakwaBoeing bafihle amaphepha kwiFAA nasezinkampanini zezindiza ukuze kutholakale isitifiketi sokuqala esingu-737 MAX njengephephile. Manje, yize izikhulu eziningi zeBoeing Calhoun nezikhulu ze-FAA ziqinisekise ukuthi kuzoba sobala ngokuphelele ngokuya phambili, iBoeing neFAA bafuna ukugcina yonke imibhalo yayo iyimfihlo, kanti i-FAA ifuna ukugcina yonke imininingwane yayo yokuhlola iyimfihlo. ”

"I-FAA yenqabile ukusebenzisa izincomo ezizimele zeJoint Authorities technical Review (JATR), manje i-FAA ifuna ukunqamula ithuba lokugcina lokubuyekeza ngokuzimela iBoeing MAX," kuqhubeka uPaul Hudson. "Uma iBoeing neFAA bethola indlela yabo, i-737 MAX izosheshe izungezwe ngaphandle kokubuyekezwa kochwepheshe abazimele, futhi ngaphandle kokuqaliswa kwezincomo zeJATR"
