Outgoing FAA chief warns airlines of intervention

“I predict passengers will continue to be fed up with delays, and that’s got to be taken more seriously by our airlines,” Blakey said in a speech before the Aero Club of Washington. Her five-year term as FAA administrator ends Thursday.

“If the airlines don’t address this voluntarily, don’t be surprised when the government steps in,” she said. — USA TODAY

This would of course sound more ominous coming from an incoming official, but it’s good that someone is rattling the airlines’ cages.

The Cranky Flier dubs Blakey as “Captain Obvious” for the above statement.
