Two whistleblowers and four other Federal Aviation Administration inspectors testified Thursday that the FAA looked the other way as Southwest Airlines missed inspections on some of its planes. According to a report in USA Today, the testimony included allegations of attempts at revenge, orders to destroy incriminating documents and suspicion of a conspiracy that ran all the way to the FAA’s Washington headquarters. Said Rep. James Oberstar, D-Minn, the chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, “”If this was a grand jury proceeding, I think it would result in an indictment.”
