"Safety remains the airlines' top priority," Air Transport Assn. President and CEO James May said yesterday, adding that Babbitt's statement "reflects our shared commitment to adopt meaningful safety initiatives on an aggressive timeline."
That'll be a doozy to bring in. No sweat. Any corporate can adopt 'meaningful initiatives'.

Nothing will change because, as yet, not enough people have died. It is true that some folks really want to improve things and this first example where fatigue appears to be part of the problem (I have read the whole thread) is a wonderful warning. But, and I apologise for my cynicism, nothing will change - yet.
