The system is working: nobody is perfect, but we have redundancy in place to detect problems and fix them latter.
The real dangerous systems are the ones where problems are covered up and ignored. You will get a false impression that they are safe until it is too late.
The system is very much not working. The original max issue that caused the deaths of over 300 people were due to Boeing being allowed to self certify the Max with MCAS. The FAA just greenlit Boeing to continue self certifying.
More people will die because the FAA prioritizes the profits of airlines and Boeing above their regulatory duty to certify new aircraft.
Like when Boeing covered up the 737 Max defects that caused them to crash?
That is an example of the system not working. That they are doing this implies that maybe the system has been fixed. It is hard to know.
It just means they've been caught again.
