The aviation company has announced that they will offer each person $ 30,000, with “not tied wires”, which means that passengers who accept payment would continue to take legal proceedings potentially.
Following the collision, Delta ED Bastian CEO said in an interview with “CBS Mornings” that, despite the assertions of critics, the reduction of the Trump administration budget did not have a negative impact on aviation safety.
“I understand that cuts are something that ask questions at the moment, but the reality is that there are over 50,000 people working at FAA. And the cuts, I understand, were 300 people and were in uncritical security functions,” Bastian said.
“Trump administration has committed to deeply investing in the sense of improving the entire technologies used in air traffic control systems and modernization of the sky,” Bastian added. “They dedicated themselves to the employment of additional controllers and investigators and security investigators. So no, I do not deal with that at all.”
