Denies Request From Kentucky Office For 14 More Pairs Of
Eyes
Despite growing demand for aviation safety oversight, the FAA
continues to short-staff its inspector workforce, according to the
Professional Airways Systems Specialists (PASS). Most recently,
PASS said, overwhelmed inspectors and local management at the
Kentucky Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) in Louisville
requested that the FAA fill 14 inspector positions. In response,
the FAA filled only one of these important positions according to
PASS, the union representing FAA safety inspectors and
technicians.
