FAA Manager Retires

June 26, 2008
News from the FAA reports that the manager at the center of the Southwest Airlines safety incident has retired. See news item. Stephen Prentice wrote about the situation in the May issue: What Do You Have to Do to Get Fired? Bill O'Brien writes about the safety inspectors that reported him in the July issue. They had to resort to the Whistleblower Act to get someone to listen to the safety issues. So who gets the best deal, the one who gets to retire or the ones that get to keep working with a cloud over their heads? Thanks for reading. Barb Zuehlke, Managing Editor
