Many of us fly for work and air safety we take for granted. Yesterday the FAA completed their investigation into Boeing and their findings were concerning. According to the FAA, Boeing "did not provide objective evidence of a foundational commitment to safety that matched Boeing's descriptions of that objective." This is a pretty grave statement, isn't it? The aviation industry needs to prioritize safety above all else. #safety #airsafety #aviation #quality #qhse , the report can be read here: https://lnkd.in/d54XGCPj

Our President Capt. Jason Ambrosi issued the following statement today following the U.S. Senate hearings today on Boeing safety practices: “We applaud Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) for holding these important hearings. As airline pilots, we train for life to ensure we protect those who entrust their lives with us, and we take this responsibility very seriously. Thanks to the presence of at least two highly trained pilots on every flightdeck—and our collaboration with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other aviation stakeholders—we have the safest aviation system in the world. However, we can never take that for granted. “We must always remain vigilant and look for ways to do better. For example, we must look to improve and strengthen the certification process by increasing human factors considerations and pilot input in aircraft design and continue to provide safety reporting tools so that all employees, regardless of their employer, feel empowered to voice concerns in a nonpunitive environment, free from retaliation. That’s why we welcome the additional scrutiny of these recent events by Congress, the FAA, and the National Transportation Safety Board.” #Aviation #Safety #Airlines
