Bill Shuster: “I want to make the point that, if this is so good for the farmers, why are the farmers all opposed to it?”

I believe that they fundamentally agree with me that the FAA is broken, and that--although it is a very, very safe system, the efficiency, the innovation, the modernization for decades has fallen behind.

If we are spending 25 to 28 times more in CapX and we are getting very little for it, that is a real problem.

If we make the system more efficient and drive down costs, that gives everybody more money to spend on taking care of those problems.

The United States has the safest aviation system in the world. That can never be taken for granted.
