Being the 787 was a new type rating at the time of its release and its release happened before many of the major cutbacks in the FAA, I’m not sure that’s a fair statement. Do you have a source to back that up?

To back what up? That Boeing self-certified on the 787 too?

The whole “Boeing verifies itself and creates shoddy products” came out in 2013 already. Nothing ever improved since.
