Former Swiss Aviation Official To Take Over Europe's JAA

Andre Auer Quit Switzerland's Civil Aviation Authority In Midst Of Safety Flap

The man who quit as head of Switzerland's civil aviation authority amid accusations that he let safety standards slip to a dangerous level is now the head of Europe's Joint Aviation Authorities.

Andre Auer says he'll take the EU job beginning in November.

Auer is appealing the Swiss government's decision to terminate his contract and not pay a severance reportedly worth twice his annual salary.

The Swiss Federal Office Of Civil Aviation (FOCA) is in the midst of a major shake-up under the leadership of Auer's successor, Raymond Cron.

The web site Swissinfo.org reports there have been three fatal air accidents in Switzerland over the past four years, including a midair near Lake Constance in 2002.
