The head of the Federal Aviation Administration, who took over the agency as it was reeling from allegations of lax oversight in the aftermath of two Boeing 737 MAX airplane crashes, is stepping down. FAA Administrator Steve Dickson is a former Air Force and Delta Air Lines pilot who worked his way up to be Delta''s senior vice president of flight operations. He came out of retirement from Delta to head up the FAA , which at the time was under intense scrutiny for certifying Boeing''s 737 MAX jetliner, when two of the planes crashed and killed a total of 346 people. The FAA had approved the new jetliner while knowing little about an automated flight control system that crash investigators blame for playing a significant role in the crashes. Dickson refused to approve the 737 MAX to fly passengers again until he flew the plane himself, which he did in September of 2020 . Dickson told FAA employees in a letter that he was proud of his tenure, saying, "The agency is in a better place than it was two years ago, and we are positioned for great success." He said his decision comes with "mixed emotions and a heavy heart." "Nevertheless, after sometimes long and unavoidable periods of separation from my loved ones during the pandemic, it is time to devote my full time and attention to them.

80 Unruly Airplane Passengers Referred for Potential US Prosecution

03:08am, Thursday, 17'th Feb 2022 Voice of America News
A total of 80 unruly airplane passengers have been referred to the FBI for potential criminal prosecution, the Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday, as onboard disruptions rose sharply in 2021, many over COVID-19 mask requirements. The U.S. Justice Department has pledged to take a tough line, and some airlines and labor unions have called for a no-fly list that would ban passengers with a record of disruptions. The FAA, which said last year that it had referred 37 passengers to the FBI for review, said about 4,600 of the 6,400 unruly-passenger reports it has received since the start of 2021 through February 15 involve passengers not wearing masks as required. The Justice Department said Wednesday that it was prosecuting a record number of passengers for interfering with flight crews. In the 2019 budget year, 20 defendants were charged, followed by 16 in 2020 and a record 21 in 2021. The department said nine have been charged in the first four months of the current budget year.

The Washington Post — in an editorial — accused the Federal Aviation Administration of dragging its feet on creating a national no-fly list for disorderly passengers. According to the FAA, there were roughly 6,000 incidents involving unruly passengers in 2021. More than 4,000 were related to face masks. However, only 350 of those incidents involved action from law enforcement. In January 2021, the FAA administrator enacted a new zero-tolerance policy for unruly and dangerous behavior, raising fines up to $37,000 and putting out a series of public service announcements.

Today we learn that this has been in the works for a while , as Bloomberg reports that the largest airlines in the US have been working with the Biden administration ''for months'' to compile a no-fly list of unruly passengers amid attacks on flight attendants, airport gate agents and fellow travelers.
