Air deaths down but injuries up

Article Abstract:

The low number of fatalities from US air carriers continued for the third straight year in 1999, an unprecedented safety record according to industry experts. The only fatal crash for the entire year occurred in Little Rock, AR, on Jun 1, 1999, with the death of 11 persons inside an American Airlines jet. However, the fine performance of the US airline industry was marred by an unexplainable increase in the number of less- serious accidents that caused a number of injuries and aircraft damages.

Pilots, FAA disagree over identification

Article Abstract:

The Air Line Pilots Assn has sent a letter to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) dated Jun 20, 2000, urging it to issue a single identification badge for pilots and other airline employees to allow them access secure areas at all airports. However, the FAA and airport authorities say that a centralized security card system would require a large employee database that would be difficult to keep current.
