United Airlines Is In HOT Water, FAA Takes Action


How many people reading this are considering flying on United Airlines? How many are considering flying at all?

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is now taking action against the air carrier and has announced increased oversight of the airline company.

Following several safety-related incidents in the last two weeks alone, the FAA is considering curbing the growth of United Airlines and forcing other regulatory restrictions.

Such restrictions are currently on the table, not final, but increased oversight from the FAA will continue until further notice.

Dare Obasanjo pointed out: “Lots of news stories about planes falling apart in the air. While people focused on Boeing as the manufacturer many were maintenance problems not manufacturing ones.”

The FAA will initiate a formal evaluation to ensure the Chicago-based airline “is complying with safety regulations; identifying hazards and mitigating risk; and effectively managing safety,” it said in a statement to Reuters.

“Certification activities in process may be allowed to continue, but future projects may be delayed based on findings from oversight.”

Citizen journalist Steve McLaughlin reiterated a previous warning he issued three years ago about United Airlines regarding their decision to trade consumer safety for DEI.

The Hill provided this statement from United Airlines Vice President of Corporate Safety Sasha Johnson:

“ [A] Number of safety-related events in recent weeks have rightfully caused us to pause and evaluate whether there is anything we can and should do differently.

Over the next several weeks, we will begin to see more of an FAA presence in our operation as they begin to review some of our work processes, manuals and facilities.

We welcome their engagement and are very open to hear from them about what they find and their perspective on things we may need to change to make us even safer.”
