...commuter planes will be formulated. He also announced plans to bring aircraft makers, pilots and other industry members to Washington for an aviation-safety summit. Jerome Lederer, president emeritus of the Flight Safety Foundation, says the airline industry needs to take advice from people in the field: "The airlines express an interest in safety, but the guys in the shops regularly are not consulted." Other experts say the problem lies not in the plane hangars but in the offices of the FAA. An aviation authority says the agency should have grounded the foreign-made ATRs long...
