The airline announced that it would offer $ 30,000 to each person, with “without strings”, which means that passengers who accept payment could continue to undertake legal actions.
After the accident, the CEO of Delta, Ed Bastian, said in an interview with “CBS Mornings” that, despite the claims of critics, the budget cuts of the Trump administration did not have a negative impact on the safety of aviation.
“I understand that the cuts at this time are something that is asking questions, but the reality is that there are more than 50,000 people who work in the FAA. And the cuts, I understand, there were 300 people, and they were in non -critical security functions,” Bastian said.
“The Trump administration has promised to invest deeply in terms of improving general technologies used in air traffic control systems and modernizing the skies,” Bastian added. “They have pledged to hire additional controllers and researchers, and security researchers. So, I am not worried about that at all.”
