Their opponents aren't always great shakes but it's no surprise that government functions badly when it's so often under the control of people whose existence is devoted to making it work badly. Maybe they could make a case for making it work better, but for decades they've said over and over that the only thing they want is to drown it in a bathtub.
I apologize for being political but surely people can see a connection between regulatory failure and management by an explicit hatred of all regulators.
Not precisely a policy wonk but I live surrounded by them.
Fix the regulatory regime but also streamline it so other companies can begin to compete. We'll be without a domestic Airliner manufacturer for a bit but I don't think you fix this without eating that pain for a while.
Air travel did not become one of the safest ways of transport out of the pure, intrinsic will of the industry to be better. it took decades of beating them into doing what's right.
Why don't we still have video recordings of cockpits for the Black Box? It would dramatically help in solving accidents, but the industry has been fighting this tooth and nail. "It's expensive!". "Safety" never comes up - that's the government's job.
