Bureaucracy, bureaucracy, bureaucracy!
The relation between fires/ smoke incidents and certain cockpit windows had been established in 1980, why did Federal Aviation Administration wait for about 30 years to issue a safety mandate?
Moreover, what could be the reason for more time before issuing a maintenance directive for Boeing 747?
Were they just waiting for that safety issue to be publicly highlighted last May before going ahead with a revised safety mandate?
Questionably, the latest directive affects the forward-looking cockpit windows, rather than all cockpit windows as if side cockpit windows are for decorative purpose only.
