“Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ignoring safety concerns”
Its not the lives of those in the FAA, nor their money, nor their future livelihood at stake. Honestly, why do those working at the FAA care about things like “safety” of someone else and someone else’s airline? Actually, there’s strong evidence the gov’t likes death to lower the population.
That is the problem with all these alphabet soup federal regulatory agencies. They love the power and control over others and the income for themselves, but they have no personal interest in the thing they are regulating. Just go to work, put in your time, collect your paycheck, and think of ways to increase your paycheck - just like everybody else. The purported “do-good” reason for the bureaucracy is quickly lost.
Better is private industry and private enterprise taking care of their own. The free market in the voluntary cooperation between buyers and sellers will do a good job of weeding out the low quality and careless providers - they will go out of business because buyers in their own self-interest will buy elsewhere.
A large part of the FAA and the other alphabet soup federal agencies is a huge and profound waste of taxpayers’ money.
Reminds me of Reagan’s quote, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the Government, and I’m here to help.”
