IG: FAA has done little with major reforms approved in 1995

Congress exempted the Federal Aviation Administration from major civil service and procurement rules 19 years ago but the Department of Transportation inspector general says little has been accomplished as a result.

“Since 1995, FAA has completed several personnel and organizational reforms, undergone multiple reorganizations, and implemented measures aimed at improving its internal operations and reducing costs,” DOT IG Calvin Scovell III told Congress Nov. 18 in testimony before the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
