You would think that after their DC-10 catastrophe of 1979 they would have learned their lesson when it comes to engine attachment, at least.
As usual, just follow the money. All the airlines dump loads of money on their lobbyists to make sure the FAA minds their "place" and doesn't get too invasive. Just another reason this Government agency should have been privatized long ago.
