The recent grounding of comercial airliners is yet another result of an administration that considers industry it's 'customer' rather than taxpayers. |
[T]he F.A.A., under the Bush administration, took a more supportive role after the Sept. 11 attacks to help the industry recover — “through technology, through greater efficiencies, through sensible and non-burdensome regulatory schemes,” Marion C. Blakey, the F.A.A. administrator in 2002, said at the time. She declined to be interviewed for this article.
This more collaborative approach was reflected in a “customer service initiative” announced by the F.A.A. in April 2003. Source: "Behind Chaos in the Air, a Pendulum Swing at F.A.A." By MATTHEW L. WALD and MICHELINE MAYNARD - NY Times - April 13, 2008 |
