Where is the FAA's mandate to keep flyers safe? Well, the Air Transport Association doesn't think the needed safety changes are cost effective because after all, it's only people's lives we are talking about here.
"Neither the FAA's safety analysis nor benefit-cost analysis justifies the proposed rule," the Air Transport Association, which represents the airlines, said in its response to the FAA this past May.
It's nice to see that profits always trump safety in the end.
To tell you the truth, I would fear a cost-cutting measure that effects airplane safety more than I would fear a terrorist possibly taking a plane over, any day.
Thank you, FAA and the airlines, for putting people's safety in jeopardy over the all-mighty dollar.
