Letter to The Office of Inspector General

Re: FAA Safety Oversight of American Airlines Project No. 17A3003A000 Dear Mr. Hampton: Your announcement, dated May 9, 2018, advised that the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Transportation (OIG) would be conducting an audit “to assess FAA’s processes for investigating allegations of improper maintenance practices at two carriers, Allegiant Airlines and American Airlines.” Local 591 of the Transport Workers Union, which represents over 4,500 maintenance employees at American Airlines, Inc.
