What The FAA Really Wants, According To AOPA

0

The FAA’s underlying aim, AOPA President Phil Boyer said last week, is to get out from under the control of Congress. In a speech to a Pilot Town Meeting last Wednesday night in Wichita, Boyer said the FAA’s complaint about diminishing funds is “just total fiction,” the Wichita Business Journal reported. “The fact is that they’ve continued to get increases from Congress every single year, the trust fund is not diminishing by the administration’s own numbers and by 2011, just five years, it will be at something like $10 billion. So the FAA is looking for a way to get out from under Congress’s control, and … that’s the last thing we want, an out-of-control FAA.”
