The Office of Special Counsel has revealed that many FAA whistleblower cases have revealed correct, vital information regarding public safety, according to an article and video report on CNN.
The sheer amount of FAA whistleblowers that have come forward in recent years means that FAA is a very sick agency, indicated Tom Devine of GAP, going further in stating “There’s never been an agency that’s had that large of a surge of whistle-blowers whose concerns were vindicated by the government’s official whistle-blower protection office.”
The article rightfully focuses on a possible reason why the FAA is so engrained with whistleblowers (indicating systemic corruption) – a “revolving door” of truly heighted proportions exists between the FAA and Department of Transportation employees obtaining high level positions in the airline industry.
Although the heads of the Department of Transportation and the FAA have pledged to listen to FAA employees with concerns, GAP will wait and see if this truly happens, as the FAA has resisted previous call to create an independent office to investigate whistleblowers.
