- SJU WX:
In the U.S. we have a Flight Plan. This was reviewed by the Administrator earlier this week and, guess what, we're well on our way to achieving all our goals! It's always heartening to see what good government can accomplish.
Number One, of course, is accident prevention. As luck would have it, there haven't been many deaths due to plane wrecks this past year. Mission accomplished!
In my view, however, the FAA policies had little to do with the low accident rate, and I predict that there will be aircraft accidents in the future - lots of them, unfortunatly - and then who is going to accept the blame? Will the Administrator stand before us next year and say that whatever accidents occured were the result of poor FAA policies? I kinda doubt it.
Two of the prime functions of government, no matter which country, are:
1) patting themselves on the back for past accomplishments that only they can see, and,
2) presenting a "vision" of the future that even they know is - the theme of this thread - merely the latest drivel.
