Nah, they’ll keep getting exceptions for the 737 max until they have the worst plane crash in history. Then something might be done and bigger changes might be made.
Realistically, how much worse could they get? The disasters so far have only been limited by the number of people they can kill due to the plane’s capacity.
Probably would have been different if they failed after taking off from New York or Chicago instead of Indonesia or Ethiopia, because, of course.
I think a plane crashing into a populated city or neighborhood would up those numbers quite a lot though. And yeah, good point. I think another reason the 737 max issues haven’t been taken more seriously yet is because the two big accidents involved people from developing nations. Imagine if those planes were full of Americans.
I doubt they would confirm before they had tested every bolt on a few planes
Or at least one, testing every bolt, or at least this bolt on a bunch of them
But they would need a sensitive tool to measure torq needed to unlock it that’s kinda cool

Not necessarily, that assumes that the bolts got torqued down correctly
