K.C. The idea was to get away from politics! But since you had to drag it back, what "regulations and requirements" are you refuring to? I believe we had off shore maintenance going on long before Trump!What price do you put on safety? Boeing made it "optional" on the Max. But I think the best solution is to bring BACK FAA oversight. Don't turn it over to the manufacturer who has to answer to shareholders and needs a quick profit to make them happy. Might be more "wasteful spending", but I think that part of the problem with the Max is that Boeing wanted profits. Boeing NEEDED profits. And that might have influenced their "self certification".
AND...if the FAA were back in the picture and their oversight was required for MAINTENANCE - you might see some of that offshored maintenance come back to the states, since of the FAA can't get down there to certify everything, then the planes that are fixed there can't fly when they get back. It's kind of funny....you voted for a party that vowed to cut those nasty regulations and requirements....and they DID....and it resulted in YOUR work being sent to another country. Be careful what you vote for.
