- FAA proposes OSHA oversight of flight attendant working conditions
The Federal Aviation Administration has released a proposal that would expand worker protection rights to flight attendants, offering worker condition regulating authority to the Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration. An A4A spokeswoman said that while workplace safety is a top priority for airlines, the current FAA oversight is effective, "A4A believes that expanding the regulatory process across multiple agencies is unnecessary, creates conflicting regulatory authority and a host of logistical problems throughout the industry.” The Hill/Transportation blog
