The Future of Aviation Advisory 

Committee (FAAC) Subcommittee on 

Labor and World-Class Workforce; 

Notice of Meeting 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary of 

Transportation, Department of 

Transportation. 

ACTION: The Future of Aviation 

Advisory Committee (FAAC) 

Subcommittee on Labor and World-class 

Workforce; amendment to notice of 

meeting. 

SUMMARY: The Department of 

Transportation (DOT), Office of the 

Secretary of Transportation, announced 

a meeting of the FAAC Subcommittee 

on Labor and World-class Workforce, 

which will be held via teleconference. A 

call-in number and pass code will be 

issued upon registration. This notice 

announced the date and time of the 

meeting, which will be open to the 

public. The purpose of the FAAC is to 

provide advice and recommendations to 

the Secretary of Transportation to 

ensure the competitiveness of the U.S. 

aviation industry and its capability to 

effectively manage the evolving 

transportation needs, challenges, and 

opportunities of the global economy. 

The subcommittee is charged with 

ensuring the availability and quality of 

a workforce necessary to support a 

robust, expanding commercial aviation 

industry in light of the changing socioeconomic dynamics of the world’s 

technologically advanced economies. 

Among other matters, the subcommittee 

will examine three issues affecting the 

future employment requirements of the 

aviation industry: (1) The need for 

science, technology, engineering, and 

math skills in the industry; (2) the 

creation of a culture of dignity and 

respect in workplace; and (3) the effect 

of NextGen on various workforces. This 

teleconference meeting was described as 

‘‘solely for discussion with Mr. Joshua 

M. Javits, a professional arbitrator and 

mediator, who has mediated a number 

of air carrier labor-management 

disputes.’’ However, at the 

subcommittee meeting on September 23, 

2010, it was determined additional time 

would be needed during the October 1, 

2010, meeting to refine the 

subcommittee’s topic proposals for 

presentation to the full FAAC on 

October 20, 2010. Accordingly, in 

addition to the scheduled discussion 

with Mr. Javits on October 1, the 

subcommittee will discuss possible 

actionable items for presentation at the 

October 20 FAAC meeting in Los 

Angeles, California, and work related to 

the general responsibilities of the 

subcommittee. 

DATES: The meeting will be held on 

October 1, 2010, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. 

Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). 

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held 

via teleconference. A call-in number 

and pass code will be issued upon 

registration. (See below for registration 

instructions.) 

Public Access: The meeting is open to 

the public. (See below for registration 

instructions.)

offer written comments and suggestions 

concerning the activities of the advisory 

committee or subcommittee should file

Number DOT–OST–2010–0074 at
