I'm very glad that the Federal Aviation Administration has ensured the safety of the traveling public by wisely denying the waiver request by Republic Airways to cut in half the pilot experience requirement.
U.S. airlines have attained an extraordinarily good safety record, with no fatal crashes in more than 13 and a half years.
Now is not the time to weaken essential #safety standards. We must instead work hard to maintain or improve them.
