A career FAA employee would be like having an astronomer dictate how to land a shuttle on a moon.
Career fed employees are always, lacking the real world knowledge to make sound decisions.
- themitigating 3y agoWhat's real world knowledge?
- simfree 3y agoPart of said "real world knowledge" is regulatory capture in this case, which a well compensated career civil servant wouldn't be so beholden to.
- stjohnswarts 3y agoIt's knowledge you get by actually working in the field rather than reading about it in reports and white papers. It has value, it's not everything, but it is important. What actually needs to be in place are independent auditors who aren't linked to the industry and can't profit from it to review the decisions of these agencies and have full access to all data, including engineers who say "yo this is a bad idea". I have been that engineer a few times with mixed results, sometimes people listen, sometimes they don't. Never on the level of the FAA/Boeing fiasco but still it does happen all the time, everyday. That's why rules to prevent fraternizing between agencies like the FAA and Boeing are important. It's a lot harder to be tough on friend/colleague than it is someone who you don't know and are auditing.
- rcme 3y agoThe FAA works in the field.
- mardifoufs 3y agoThe FAA makes planes?
- themitigating 3y agoSo experience? Why call it real world knowledge instead of that? It implies that education isn't real and therefore of no value
