Boeing 737 MAX 8 Certification and Obama Administration Policies
The FAA's Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) program, which allowed Boeing to appoint its own representatives to certify aircraft software, is linked to the 737 MAX 8 disasters. Critics point to the Obama administration's efforts to fast-track Boeing exports and reduce "red tape" as a contributing factor to the lack of oversight. Boeing notably donated $10 million to the Obama Presidential Library following these policy shifts.
