Has anybody else notice that this Mary Shiavo "aviation expert" is on every channel, 24 hours a day,...................in person ???!@!! <modsnip>
That is because she knows her stuff ! Tough cookie !
Your stuff is great. Respectfully! - She is HUGE in the field and has done lots of great major stuff to make aviation safer! HUGE!
is the former Inspector General of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT), where for six years she withstood pressure from within DOT and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as she sought to expose and correct problems at the agencies.
handled Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
....curb the sale of unapproved aircraft parts. The investigations under Schiavo, by 1996, lead to over 150 criminal convictions and over $47 million USD in restitutions and fines. The resulting prison sentences from the convictions ranged up to five years per person.[2]
IT was great:
-wrote Flying Blind, Flying Safe, a scathing expose of the fraud, corruption, waste, mismanagement, and dangerous negligence in the aviation industry and the FAA as a crusader for flight safety.
when the .............Secretary of Transportation insisted that ValuJet was safe, Schiavo produced contrary evidence from government files (and yep shut em down)
The Value Jet crash was a watershed accident .........lots of stuff changed after it. Cargo fire supression being one of them
Delta 191 was another watershed accident. (Microbursts!)
