I do not believe I have the authority to demand action from the FAA. The phrase
'Please can you look into this' was intended as a polite request. Please
indicate where I have made a demand.
I think I should report safety-related issues which are at risk of slipping through
the net. LTD has made no announcement of having filed an MOR; later, we
read that 'MOR's only achieve anything if the issue is within the airline
concerned (and then it's not guaranteed).' (Post 383). I therefore did the best I
could think of to try to have the details looked into, by a professional
organisation.
I do not think of myself as on a 'crusade'. I think aviation is a wonderful invention
and I simply want it to be as safe as possible.
Although I am being criticised, I do not believe I have acted illegally. The details
I sent to the FAA are publicly available, as are the means of contacting the FAA.
I have not been criticised by the FAA for my actions.
