Thanks for the pointer.

So only Mr. Grizzle has former DOT ties, and none are political appointees.

And only one is a former FAA chief counsel, and so on.

Also, effectively, they are all political appointees, although, if you re-read what I wrote, you'll see that I speculated that the political ideology of high-level political appointees in the DOT (e.g., Elaine Chao, Secretary of Transportation and wife of Mitch McConnell) drove the formation and mission of the committee. It's really quite likely; these are people who believe government regulation is to be avoided whenever possible and minimized when it can't be avoided.

If you prefer reading the original report to mass media summaries, it can be found here. https://www.transportation.gov/brief...ons-aircraft-0

I shall. Thanks, again.
