NO, I am not suggesting that we privatize the FAA. I am stating that most of the safety programs have been brought forward by pilots and airlines. The FAA then went ahead and codified them after a lengthy process  . Also, Don actually lost in his election with Nick. After it was asserted that Nick had if fact has died in the accident ( the plane has still not been found) , we, the registered voters of Alaska voted him in in a special election against Emil Notti.
