You do realize the FAA maintains a publically searchable database of all almost 30k runway incursion events over the past two decades? Which is entirely inconsistent with your claim of airlines and the FAA trying to keep safety issues hush hush 🙄 just because people don’t pay attention except when the news decides they need to find a hot topic to jump on doesn’t mean there is some grand scheme by the airlines/regulatory bodies to keep things under wraps.

The US has been fortunate over the past decade being a relatively calm period for major safety issues not aligning all the holes in the swiss cheese to result in a major loss of aircraft/life, but the glaring issues in the aviation industry both in the US and worldwide are still well documented and publically available if you look for them, includinf the painstakingly abysmall roleout of NextGen.

And again there is absolutely zero indication UA hasn’t been doing this. This whole report is literally based on something thatbthe UA pilots voluntarily reported and UA voluntarily reported to the FAA, investigated and took action based on. But please, tell us more how the airlines are keeping things hush hush or making excuses to not review flight safety issues? Because by all neither of those things that you accuse of occurring are actually happening.
