"Since 2010, commercial aviation fatalities have been reduced by 99.8 percent."

"The victims' families did not blame the pilots themselves, because they were victims too. They blamed the system that allowed inadequately trained pilots to fly our commercial planes."

"But this year as the FAA Reauthorization process continues, some are calling the hard-fought 1,500-hour pilot training rule into question."

"Every American that steps on a plane deserves the peace of mind that there is one level of safety among all US airlines."
