Since these safety laws were enacted, not a single major U.S. airline has had a fatal crash, and I will never let us turn back the clock. Time after time, the 3407 family members work tirelessly to beat back industry’s effort to roll back safety standards, and I am proud to have stood with them shoulder to shoulder to beat back this latest attempt. We must always remain constantly vigilant to stop special interests from getting their way, but today the aviation reforms which carry with them the memory of those lost in Flight 3407 continues to burn bright.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:08:33Z |
