It's not rocket science to believe that a young woman who wants a career in aviation... is more prone to mistake.

We need to get at this.

I was put out here with almost no experience in icing.

But, I'm talking--did this pilot have adequate training on--you know, look, in the first 10 hours of instruction, when you want to get a pilot's license, you learn what a stall is and how to recover from it.

For all scheduled passenger carriage, yes, that's correct.

I think that relates more to a workday period.

I think there's an urgency here that needs to be reflected in the actions of the FAA.

The millions of passengers that fly everyday deserve an efficient, comprehensive transportation network where safety comes first.

And that's the 250 hours.

You can be sure that I, and this committee, will continue to work to keep our aviation system the safest in the world.

It seems, to me at least, that the safety of the passengers, both for regional carriers and large carriers, should be the overriding factor, versus self-reporting.

I was stunned that you have eight commercial air carriers that are--that were, last summer, picking up passengers and flying passengers around the country, that would have had no remedial training program for pilots, of any type.
