Three Republican senators suggest that trendy leftist ideologies have been distracting the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) from key responsibilities, such as shoring up the computer system that went down last month, causing officials to order all U.S. flights grounded.
During a Feb. 15 U.S. Senate committee hearing about that failure, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said there is bipartisan support to help the FAA upgrade its outdated technology. Congress is working on a reauthorization bill for the FAA, which includes funding and directives.
