The godfather of safety at the FAA, Nicholas Sabatini, should be immediately fired for his direct role in coercing the unnecessary and irrational cancellation of over 3000 American Airlines flights for a minor standard violation that did not threaten the public safety, while coddling other airlines with greater violations. His "straining at a gnat, while swallowing a camel" resulted in national travel chaos and economic disaster for which he is primarily responsible.

The purpose of the FAA is to prevent public danger or chaos, not create it!
