RAA vice president Scott Foose knows the “granularities” of the various issues with which the association grapples every day as well as anyone in the industry. A 9,100-hour, ATP-rated pilot and a former senior manager in Allegheny Airlines’ flight operations and safety department, the RAA veteran also brings as balanced a perspective as one could find on the merits and shortcomings of some of the rulemaking stemming from H.R. 5900, the Airline Safety and Federal Aviation Administration Extension Act of 2010. With this year’s FAA reauthorization and publication of final rules and NPRMs associated with the agency’s 2009 “Call to Action,” Foose and the RAA can finally offer a fairly comprehensive assessment of the fallout from some of the most intense public scrutiny the industry has ever confronted.
