The proof will be in Mr. Babbitt's actions. His words are already starting to telegraph the snow job that's coming. It's not about safety. It's about money.
I would not have brought ALPA into it had you not called Babbitt an "ATA shill". Whether you have respect for ALPA or not doesn't change his pro-labor background.

What exactly would you have done already in your first 66 days as FAA adminstrator? He's already tasked a Flight Time/Duty Time Aviation Rulemaking Committee with creating new science based regulations, and has sponsered a series of FAA Call to Action Briefings in which union reps, management execs, and those from the the FAA can discuss and share ideas on how to improve safety throughout the entire airline industry.
