In the first hearing, the committee examined issues relating to unacceptable airline delays and cancellations and the customer service problems they cause. Witnesses also talked about safety issues which necessitate delays. In a separate 12-minute hearing, the committee considered the nomination of Dr. Bailey to be administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a position in which she has been serving as acting administrator. She was introduced by Senator Lautenberg. They also considered the nominations of Ms. Joyner, who was introduced by Mr. Graham, and Mr. Plavin to the Federal Aviation Management Advisory Council. Neither Joyner nor Plavin testified.
