This is what happens when you fill the FAA with incompetent
minorities and women
Well, the true memes are starting to take hold. Last week,
the media gave considerable coverage to Congressional
hearings that absolutely beat the stuffing out of the FAA’s
PR campaign.
The notion that the airlines are our “customers” is starting
to fall by the wayside. We’re seeing the true effects of
that, and we’re seeing what it takes to keep that kind of
mindset going.
The effects of the FAA’s “culture change”, the promise that
Marion Blakey feels she delivered, in the past several years
is that Southwest Airlines, one of the most successful and
smartest-run airlines in the world, was flying planes that
were unsafe. I don’t care how you paint it or how many times
people claim “safety was never compromised”, they’re lying.
