The National Airspace System (NAS) is critical to our safety and national security.
I met with Professional Aviation Safety Specialists (PASS) about the need for federal oversight and maintenance of NAS, and the importance of supporting federal workers.
We all deserve peace of mind when we're flying – and it starts on the ground.
