Insanity in The Airline Industry

Darby Bradshaw and Kathryn Jacobs identified serious flaws within Global Air Lines and the FAA respectively. The way to fix something is to say something. The FAA supports this action with the slogan:

Global Air Lines told Darby that it was every employee's unfettered responsibility to bring anything safety related forward. When she did, the worst happened and she was removed from flight due to inability to hold a first class medical certificate, with concerns for her mental health. 

The only malady Darby had was: "paroxysm resulting from a hematoma id associated with a posterior crick."Definition: senior flight operations manager emotionally reacted due to his bruised ego because Darby was a pain in his ass. That wasn't her intent. She never thought that he would do anything but embrace the information she brought forward and take action in to improve operations in the interest of safety. 

Woven within this story is a top NTSB investigator, John McAllister, vying to become the Secretary of Department of Transportation, and the realization that the government and the airlines are nothing more than another version of Monopoly. Kathryn Jacob takes a stand, and walks away from her FAA job to complete her research on pilot performance. But when her daughters come close to death in an accident that was designed for she and Darby the game changes. Darby never lost her medical certificate during this fight, but that did not stop Global management from keeping her off duty.
