This is extremely worrisome! 🚨🚨🚨 Remember Captain Sully — the HERO who successfully landed a plane on the Hudson. He’s usually a calm, keep-to-himself kind of guy — so you KNOW something’s wrong when he speaks out this forcefully. The problem? Trump’s pick for the head of the FAA. But it’s best to let the captain tell you why “Aviation Safety has been my life's work. After my emergency landing in the Hudson River and the Colgan Air crash the following month, I knew that I had an obligation to make it my mission to keep safe everyone who flies. But with the nomination of Bryan Bedford to be FAA Administrator, my life's work could be undone. Mr. Bedford has already shown that he is willing to lie about his qualifications as a pilot, and he is not willing to uphold the critically important pilot experience requirements put in place in 2010 that have been so effective in ensuring the safety of the traveling public. Let me be crystal clear: Mr. Bedford will not commit to the current 1500-hour pilot experience rule, which means that airline pilots would have far less experience, and would not be seasoned, literally, not having experienced flying in all the seasons of the year, the crosswinds of spring, the thunderstorms of summer, the frost and fog of fall and the ice and snow of winter. The first time a pilot experiences real weather should not be with paying passengers onboard, unwitting and unwilling guinea pigs. And Bedford has indicated that he would reduce regulations and let the airlines regulate themselves more. That's insane. Manufacturers also? The FAA Administrator position has always been held by notable, respected people who come from the aviation industry and government, many former high ranking military officers, pilots, and aviation professionals. As we have all seen recently, today's aviation system is stressed, and we need an experienced aviation safety expert that we can all trust. I have long said that my criterion for safety was to ask myself if I would want my family on this airplane. We all deserve better.” 📷: NBC News
