Talking points from Friday July 27 Rep call .pdf
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. (AA), has requested that we provide you with the following information related to what we consider to be the FAA’s failure to enforce federal aviation standards in the context of AA’s maintenance operations. The primary purpose of this submission is to focus on the failure of higher level FAA representatives to appropriately respond to the findings of agency investigators relating to deficiencies in AA’s maintenance practices and maintenance culture. Moreover, there is evidence that senior FAA staff has worked to hinder and discredit the investigatory efforts of their field inspectors.
