US report on the future of aviation

[Phil Bunch]

An ambitious topic, for sure.  I thought this might be of interest to someone...not sure, though!

3.  Future of Aviation Advisory Committee [pdf]
http://www.dot.gov/faac/

In April 2010, US Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood announced the
creation of the Future of Aviation Advisory Committee. The focus of the
Committee's work is to "provide information, advice and recommendations to
the Department on ensuring the competitiveness of the U.S. aviation
industry." First-time visitors should note that the homepage contains links
to the Committee's charter, committee member profiles, and their final
report.  Published in April 2011, the 85 page final report is something of
particular interest. The document contains sections on the future of the
aviation workforce, outsourcing, and aviation safety. Moving on, visitors
can view minutes from each of their five meetings, and two of the meetings
also have archived video coverage available as well. [KMG]
