FAA official moved over Southwest flap

Thomas Stuckey, criticized last week for the Federal Aviation Administration’s oversight of Southwest Airlines, has been reassigned. The Associated Press reports that Stuckey was moved to “an administrative position that doesn’t have safety oversight.” At a congressional hearing last week, inspectors criticized Stuckey’s work, citing lax enforcement of safety regulations at Southwest. The AP reports that Stuckey is the second domino to fall in the case. The chief maintenance inspector, Douglas Gawadzinski was reassigned last week.
