We are pleased to work with NOVA and benefit from their 25 years of experience in training and offering their services in times of crisis and disasters. These laws would provide international air travelers and Americans traveling in the U.S. and overseas improved protection. A consumer advocate such as Ralph Nader, or someone we trust like Mary Schiavo, could best represent the passengers in making safety-first decisions with tax money from airline tickets. We believe that technical recommendations arrived at through scientific crash investigation should be listed more specifically. Also, if the FAA has acted on a NTSB recommendation, but has allowed 3 to 5 years of delay time, the request should still be on the list.
Safety delayed is still safety denied.
Please let us know if you would like a copy of this information. There are many excellent independent aviation engineers who could be helpful in preventing another 737 disaster. The industry has been granted years of delays in order to repeat the same submissions over and over again. People should have equal access to this information to help preserve their constitutional right to due process. Considering the increase in NTSB time spent on fatal accident investigations it is time to have all NTSB records subject to Freedom of Information.
