Lomapaseo, valid points, but there is already activity in the industry on the issue of bird strike certification standards not being adequate.
I have considerable experience working in the regulatory environment and fully appreciate the parameters that drive regulatory change.
Sadly, rather than really understanding the US Air 1549 event and making meaningful changes to airport wildlife control requirements, training for the industry and revising certification standards, we continue to ignore what the data and risk assessments are telling us.
I fear that the only way this issue will get the traction it needs is a tombstone safety event with lots of casualties. we have not had one in recent memory and US Air 1549 only became a book and a movie (pardon the sarcasm).
Curiously no mention of the Ryanair event in Rome the November before US Air 1549 is made. Another double engine failure from birds with another successful outcome. There are many other disturbing incidents, the frequency of which is increasing.
How long do you want to keep rolling the dice........
