Yeah, that was very inappropriate for Homendy to use this incident to blast the FAA for not requiring TAWS. Especially because that implies that CFIT was a cause.
Now, Homendy also called out FAA for not requiring FDR (and CVR), which I think was more appropriate, because that certainly would have helped the NTSB investigation, which would lead to better safety in the future.
