Airlines granted more time on defective seats

How transparent!
The seats manufactured by Koito Industries are either complying with the mandatory safety standards or not. If they are unsafe, what could be the meaning as well as the potential effect of such long grace period?
It is strange that the airline industry has been worried about confronting a potential multibillion dollar price tag. Why is that? Who is supposed to pay that amount of money, Koito or the airlines victimized by the defrauding Koito?
What could possibly be the expected regulatory steps of both FAA and EASA? They know almost everything about the issue but they are not addressing the only culprit.
There was a marriage between dishonest polygamous Koito and innocent airlines. Why are we asking the innocent airlines to take care of the deformed children resulted from that marriage?

FAA issues cockpit-window safety mandates

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.

Air traffic controllers who can’t be fired

Are they untouchable?
The job nature and its requirements are well known in advance before the hiring process. There is no room for excuses available to those who accepted the job and its responsibility.
The job requires a high degree of concentration along with minimum or no distraction at all. The lives of thousands are at the hands of air traffic controllers.
It is irresponsible to treat air traffic controllers the same way like other federal employees. If federal employees could be fired due to their carelessness in doing their jobs, firing air traffic controllers would not be enough. They are supposed to face criminal charges as well.
