To keep the skies safe, the FAA needs a makeover
Fox News
In our FAA Safety Review Team report, we rang the bell as loud as we could to draw attention to the urgent need to address the staffing, technology and funding of the system.
David Grizzle, a 40-year aviation executive, was chief operations officer, which oversees air traffic control, for the Federal Aviation Administration from 2011-2013.
Although "close calls" and aviation incidents are getting more attention in the news after the tragedy at Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C., earlier this year, the fact is that what we are seeing today is the accumulated effect of decades of under-funding and same old same old processes. Now is the time for a call to attention to keep the United States the gold standard when it comes to aviation safety.
