Why fixing FAA Aircraft Safety Certification is not a matter of money:
The FAA has not yet responded to a request for details substantiating the figures that Elwell cited, but the number of staff he estimated may reflect the number of Designees licensed by the FAA to approve the billions of parts and processes that keep aviation operating safely from day to day.
The best chance of finding people who understand the technical requirements is to rely on the experts who already work in the field. This is not a new practice, it is a well established method for finding industry specialists that Not all Designees work at the company for which that they oversee. The FAA has individual consulting Designees as well as Designee organizations.
It might prove impossible to disassemble the Designee program and hire and train a wholly independent body of certification experts who work exclusively for the FAA. The most likely pool of qualified candidates would be employees of the aviation companies where Designees are based today. That would mean simply transferring the payroll for these certification experts from their companies to the FAA and gaining no technical advantage.
