What the eff does that even mean? Be wary of partial quotations used in today's media. And maybe they should edit a bit more professionally?:
"Last month, the Senate committee unanimously a bill to reform how FAA certifies new airplanes and grant new protections for whistleblowers, among other reforms, while the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed a similar bill."
IIRC Steve Dickson said he wasn't going to sign off on the 737Max until he personally test flighted the plane. I believe he did test fly the plane, so are you saying the head of the FAA is in on the conspiracy?

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
