It's April 10. Tell us; how did it go? Not too good for the FAA The FAA Management idiots looked like a deer in the headlights Congress's stance toward the industry has shifted from benevolence after the terrorist attacks in 2001 to a more combative approach after a string of passenger disruptions and recent revelations about lax oversight. Oberstar said on Wednesday that his criticism was "an effort to get them back on course, to being the gold standard in the world for aviation safety oversight and maintenance oversight, and to re-establish a safety mind-set and culture with the agency, instead of this coddling of the industry." There has not been a crash of a big jet in the United States since an American Airlines plane broke up in flight over New York in November 2001 — a point repeatedly made by federal administrators and airline executives as proof that the air system is safe. That attitude could be dangerous, however, Oberstar said. "Time passes, and 'Oh, we haven't had an accident, and now we can be cozy and play patty-cake with the airlines,' " he said, describing what he fears could be the attitude of the FAA "As soon as you do that, you lose the enforcement mind-set, and you lose the sense of the margin of safety." |
