Manufacturers and Airlines chose not to participate and plan properly. The conference warned about the risk of a major shutdown and a huge cash cal on the airlines.

The industry could have participated, planned and perhaps had a better outcome, setting safety limits.

I have little sympathy and would rather the regulators erred on the side of caution rather than flying to meet commercial pressures.
