    National Air Carrier Association 1735 North Lynn Street, Suite 105 Arlington, VA 22209 T: +1.703.358.8060 March 9, 2021 BY ELECTRONIC MAIL The Honorable Steven M. Dickson Administrator Federal Aviation Administration 800 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20591 Dear Administrator Dickson, Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Air Carrier Association (NACA) and its member carriers1 have worked closely with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) staff on various operational challenges. One of the more unique issues related to the pandemic has been an increase in disruptive passengers and crewmember assaults, often resulting from disputes associated with mask requirements. In mid-January, in the wake of the insurrection at the United States Capitol Building, the FAA instituted a Special Enforcement Emphasis Program (SEEP) designed to provide a “zero-tolerance”, maximum penalty, for passengers who have caused significant disruptions in-flight, or committed a physical assault against a member of a flight crew while onboard an aircraft. This program is scheduled to end on March 30, 2021. Many in the airline industry thought the SEEP would bring a significant reduction in disruptive passenger incidents. However, since the SEEP’s inception, our Ultra Low- Cost Carriers (ULCCs) 2 have seen little to no decline in the number of daily disruptive passenger incidents. Sufficient time has not been provided for the impact of the program to be known to the traveling public. Without an understanding of the significant penalties associated with the SEEP, passenger behavior has not been altered by the program’s implementation and the risk to the crew has not been mitigated.

    4th Quarter 2018 Report Fly Quiet Program Chicago O’Hare International Airport Visit the O’Hare Noise Webpage on the Internet at www.flychicago.com/ORDNoise th 4 Quarter 2018 Report BACKGROUND On June 17, 1997, the City of Chicago announced that airlines operating at O’Hare International Airport had agreed to use designated noise abatement flight procedures in accordance with the Fly Quiet Program. The Fly Quiet Program was implemented in an effort to further reduce the impacts of aircraft noise on the surrounding neighborhoods. The Fly Quiet Program is a voluntary program that encourages pilots and air traffic controllers to use designated nighttime preferential runways and flight tracks developed by the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) in cooperation with the O'Hare Noise Compatibility Commission, the airlines, and the air traffic controllers. These preferred routes direct aircraft over less-populated areas, such as forest preserves, highways, as well as commercial and industrial areas. As part of the Fly Quiet Program, the Chicago Department of Aviation prepares a Quarterly Fly Quiet Report. This report is shared with CDA staff, the O'Hare Noise Compatibility Commission, the airlines, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the general public. The Fly Quiet Report contains detailed information regarding Fly Quiet Mode, runway use, flight operations, flight tracks, and noise complaints and 24-hour tracking of ground run-ups. The data presented in this report is compiled from the Airport Noise Management System (ANMS) and airport operation logs. FLY QUIET MODE (FQM) The FAA considers nighttime hours as 10:00 p.m. - 7:00 a.m.1 It is the CDA’s goal for the Fly Quiet Program to occur during the entire nine-hour nighttime period of 10:00 p.m.

"Today is aviation history," said Jeff Martin, JetBlue executive vice president of operations. Assembly line workers marched together with the University of South Alabama marching band chanting, "Here we go JetBlue, here we go!" "We never thought we'd see Airbus airplanes being built in the U.S. in my lifetime," said John Leahy, Airbus chief operating officer -- customers. Airbus' decision to begin rolling out single-aisle airliners in the backyard of its biggest competitor -- U.S.- based Boeing -- raised eyebrows in 2012. Less than a year later, it broke ground on the $600 million facility. "It's a testament to how well executed this project was and how strong the teamwork has been here in Mobile and throughout Airbus," Leahy said. Photos: Airbus A380 through the years JetBlue CEO Robin Hayes said the plane is called BluesMobile "as a living memory of this historic event." He took a moment to highlight the existing relationship the airline has with Airbus. "We talk a lot about long term partnership.

It will be the first Awards Gala hosted by The Wings Club Foundation, having gained the status as a charitable 501(c)(3) organization less than a year ago. Thus, we are taking this opportunity to highlight the importance of the Foundation’s mission. Think about how many times you have heard, or even uttered the words, “we work in an exceptional industry!” When we are working, we are all business – with many of us fierce competitors. We respect one another and are driven to up our game by the excellence we observe in our colleagues against whom we compete. However, when we join together in fellowship, we are friends and collectively feel fortunate to be able to work and thrive in an industry we love. The aviation industry is an extraordinary community. Each generation has built upon the successes of the previous one to achieve great things and honor its legacy. Now we have The Wings Club Foundation as an 2015 Distinguished Achievement Award Honoree, instrument to support future generations – the upcoming leaders of our John Leahy industry. We are expanding our efforts to grow the Foundation’s endowment and award more and larger scholarships to deserving students.
