 Tim Kern, Aero-News Network The 30,000 hour Captain and aircraft mechanic (A&P) spends more time examining and explaining what he sees as the things that have gone away in US commercial air travel since deregulation and up to Sept. 11, 2002 and its aftermath. It is not hard to understand what Captain Brian likes about air transport: strong unions, pilots, mechanics, and ATC. Nor is it hard to tell what he dislikes: the FAA, deregulation, airline management, part 135 operations and ultralightning. You might not agree with him, but you'll have no trouble understanding why he thinks the way he does, as he recounts what he sees as the shortcomings in the various systems, illustrated by actual incidents that back up his points. He gives yet another slant to John F Kennedy Jr's crash in 1999 and says: "Whatever the case, we do know that John F. Kennedy Jr. died following the rules laid out by the FAA which were, and are, at fault." William A.
