Mary Schiavo: Yes, We Need Oversight Over FAA Contracts

EXCERPT:

SCHIAVO: “Well, technology is outdated, but even when I was inspector general, I had investigation after investigation of not only the outdated technology, but the fact that the FAA had great difficulty managing these contracts. We were scrapping billion dollar air traffic control modernization contracts because the FAA was simply not on top of the contractors. So yes, we need improvement, yes, we need more equipment, and we need better investment, but most of all, we need oversight over these contracts and contractors.”
