[SystemSafety] "FAA chief '100% confident' of 737 MAX safety as flights to resume"

[Tom Ferrell]

Seeing this sentiment a lot in the press reporting and find it utterly ridiculous.  This aircraft is now the most scrutinized aircraft in the history of the commercial transport fleet.  Multiple regulators, multiple deep dives through the flight control design and then a fanout into just about every other system-critical system onboard.  Couple that with the overall history of 737 safety and its hard to see how more could be done given the current regulations and oversight bodies that we have to ensure the safety of this aircraft type.  Just my opinion of course, but I, for one, will feel perfectly comfortable flying in this aircraft. The question is really what has the breakdown in processes and safety culture at Boeing meant for other recent aircraft development…

As the old adage goes, "You won't catch me up in one of those things!"

If the head of  the F.A.A. has 100% confidence then what hope is there for the general population in understanding real world risks ?
Assuming he was flying for an hour or less, I think he is entitled to round to the nearest 8 significant figures.......
