Re: What does unqualified mean ?
Yes I'm just saying "unqualified FAA inspectors approved 737" makes a good headline but needs digging into further.
Aircraft have a "minimum equipment list" of essential stuff that must be working, anything not on the list can be faulty and the plane still flies. Almost all aircraft have failures of some non-essential system.
So a perfectly true headline would be "Boeing knowingly allows millions of 737 flights with faulty equipment"
