FAA Policy Change

Airlines will no longer be called ''customers'' of the FAA, the agency responsible for regulating aviation safety said. Randy Babbitt, the new Federal Aviation Administration chief, said Thursday that the agency will stop calling air carriers its ''customers'' -- a practice adopted by the Bush administration. Lawmakers have complained the agency places the welfare of industry above the safety of passengers.

"Customers" what a bunch of crap! Who in the world thought that one up and what about their real jobs? Oversight?
Sorry about the rant but come on! Thank you Randy Babbitt. You all should check out Randy's bio and you can see why President Obama appointed him as the head of the FAA.
