Transportation secretary speaks

Transportation Secretary Mary Peters said late last week that federal regulators and American Airlines must explain why so many travelers had their flights canceled last week during safety inspections. According to an Associated Press report, she doesn’t believe the Federal Aviation Administration overreacted in insisting on the rapid rewiring and checks of wiring on MD-80 jetliners. But as she put it: “No one at all was well served by what happened last week.” The FAA and the airline have two weeks to comply with her order.
