Getting Congress attention is NOT something you want. That drags in Washington, Senior Executives, and mountains of paperwork. The whole 60 Minutes special on Allegiant and the Southwest Incident were good examples. They were taken way out of context and interviews were changed to fit the narrative that the FAA wasn’t doing it’s job for simple not violating and fining these companies.
Culture change takes years to happen. This process was only started in 2015. But a lot has changed already for the better.
