The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering temporary actions against United Airlines following a series of safety incidents, described as "Drastic Measures". This comes after United Airlines sent a letter to its employees on Friday discussing potential FAA actions, but the FAA's considerations seem to go beyond those measures. The FAA has already suspended United Airlines' ability to approve and promote pilots for different aircraft models. Additionally, United Airlines' shares fell approximately 5% in premarket trade following the FAA's decision to increase oversight. This heightened scrutiny comes in the wake of United Airlines experiencing its 10th safety flub in just two weeks, leading to a $600 million loss in market cap. Criticism has also been directed at United Airlines' CEO Scott for poor management and safety precautions. Rep. Dan Crenshaw criticized Scott's management and mentioned United's practical monopoly from Houston Intercontinental. The ongoing issues have sparked a broader investigation into the airline industry and its safety practices.









Both companies are receiving close scrutiny from the Federal Aviation Administration. Depending on how those separate reviews proceed, one air travel expert said, operations at San Francisco International Airport and others could be impacted. https://t.co/X8NcgnsDPW
