Delta Abandons Appeal Of Pilot Suspension Award - AVweb

There’s a delicate balance between business concerns and safety issues. Airlines walk a very thin line with their operations, with the FAA, Unions and Legal System breathing down their necks to regiment more restrictions. This pilot may have had her heart in the right place, but in business parlance, she’s a loose cannon who could grab each of those agencies on their case. Deregulation was a viable scheme to help the airlines develop new routes and profit where thin milk would formerly be prevalent. Unfortunately, obstacles to those schemes arise from all quarters to inhibit progress and ingenuity.
