“So we have no regulatory agency overseeing flight safety from maintenance to pilot quality to security. “
FAA.. .perhaps?
They have that responsibility (except for the “security” part, DHS has that). Now, if you want to talk about effectiveness, that’s different, as the FAA has in place flight examiners that NEVER WERE PILOTS (because they fill diversity quotas).
Hi Hulka,
I know the FAA exists and what it is supposed to do, but follow the thread up. We were pretending there wasn’t any agency and I was trying to demonstrate that it would make little difference to commercial airline safety.
Thanks.
