Comment Re:The FAA is greatly to blame (Score 5, Informative) 191

The FAA uses non-FAA personal to do a huge amount of their work. Non FAA-employee "designated pilot examiners" give checkrides and issue pilot certificates, A&P-IA inspectors issue airworthiness certificates, private companies run airport towers and weather service. Everyone usually does their jobs under threat of losing their credentials if they fuck up. It's a system that actually works pretty well as long as everyone behaves themselves. Which they haven't.
