FAA official is reassigned
A Federal Aviation Administration official who was criticized last week for the agency’s handling of missed inspections at Southwest Airlines Co. has been reassigned, an FAA spokeswoman said.
Thomas Stuckey is still working at the FAA but is no longer the agency’s director of flight standards for the five-state southwest region based in Fort Worth, FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown said.
Brown said Stuckey was moved to “an administrative position that doesn’t have safety oversight.” She declined to comment on the reasons for the move.
