Aviation Safety Action Program Reinstated By Delta

摘要

The national Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has announced that it is pleased that Delta Air Lines has reinstated its Aviation Safety Action Program. The program offers immunity from disciplinary action to pilots, mechanics, and dispatchers who voluntarily report incidents that have a bearing on safety. It is the hope of the NTSB that the airline's decision will prompt other carriers that have suspended similar programs to reinstate them. The NTSB encourages voluntary disclosure of safety issues because it believes that such actions aid in detecting problems before they cause accidents.
