But, when the FAA finally decides that it shouldn't allow pilots to work a 16 hour day, things slow down because it may cost the airlines too much money.

I guess the easiest way to sum this one up is that a plane full off ****ed off passengers is more important to the current administration than plane full of dead ones.
