In the first post...
The foundation, having just wrapped up its annual Air Charter Safety Symposium last week, will testify next week before the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Aviation at a hearing titled "FAA's Oversight of On-Demand Aircraft Operators." The focus of this hearing, to take place on Wednesday, March 17, at 2:00 p.m. (EST), will be on a report issued last July by the U.S. Department of Transportation Inspector General titled "On-Demand Operators Have Less Stringent Safety Requirements and Oversight Than Large Commercial Air Carriers." The title and the report itself provide a disservice to an industry that has worked so hard on improving its safety record.
