FAA officials still on the hotseat

House Transportation and Infrastructure committee members are keeping the political pressure on the FAA for false testimony.

According to CongressDaily

FAA Associate Administrator for Aviation Safety Nicholas Sabatini and James Ballough, director of the agency’s flight standards service, “testified truthfully” at Thursday’s hearing examining problems in the agency’s safety oversight, an FAA spokeswoman said. “Their testimony was in no way misleading.”

There was no mention of the other FAA administrator caught up in the Southwest Airlines maintenance probe. And no mention yet, of the FAA inspectors who were responsible for making sure that American Airlines inspections and airworthiness directives were completed.

That shoe will be falling later after thousands of flights have been canceled.
