E-WASHINGTON - Amagosa olawulo luka-Obama athi izolo azakuphakamisa imida emitsha malunga nokuba zingaphi iiyure abaqhubi beenqwelomoya abanokuthi babhabhe ngeenzame zokuthintela ukudinwa komqhubi wenqwelomoya, umcimbi lowo amagosa okhuseleko ebebongoza ukuba kuthathwe amanyathelo angamashumi amabini eminyaka.
URandy Babbitt, intloko ye-Federal Aviation Administration, uthe uya kuphakamisa umthetho omtsha kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezizayo.
U-Babbitt, owayesakuba ngumqhubi wenqwelomoya owayekwi-FAA iiveki nje ezimbalwa, uthe lo mbandela unzima kuba umqhubi wenqwelomoya obhabha iiyure ezimbalwa ngokuthatha uhambo olungakumbi kunye nokuhlalisa mhlawumbi uya kufumana ukudinwa okungaphezulu kunomqhubi wenqwelomoya kwinqwelomoya ende ngokusuka nje kube kanye. Ukuhla omnye.
“Eyona nto iphambili kukuba ndiza kufuna umthetho omtsha,” utshilo uBabbitt, owayephelekwa nguNobhala wezoThutho uRay LaHood kwindibano noonondaba.
IBhodi yeSizwe yoKhuseleko lwezoThutho iye yakhuthaza i-FAA iminyaka eyi-19 ukuba iqinise imimiselo kwiiyure zokulinga. I-FAA yenza isindululo somthetho omtsha ngo-1995, kodwa intshukumo yadodobalisa emva kokuba iimanyano zolingo kunye noshishino bengavumelananga kwesi siphakamiso.
Imibutho yayifuna ukunciphisa inani leeyure abaqhubi beenqwelo-moya banokuba semsebenzini kwaye bandise ixesha lokuhamba phakathi kweenqwelomoya, ngelixa iinqwelomoya zichasa utshintsho.
“Yimali,” utshilo uDave Ross, umphathiswa we-International Brotherhood of Teamsters, emele imanyano yabaqhubi kwiinqwelomoya zengingqi ezintandathu. "Ukuba awukwazi ukubhabha umqhubi wenqwelomoya logama usenza namhlanje, oko konyusa iindleko zakho."
UDavid Castelveter, isithethi soMbutho wezoThutho loMoya unqabile ukuphawula, esithi izakuba phambi kwexesha kuba akukabikho mgaqo ucetywayo. Imithetho ye-FAA ilinganisela abaqhubi ukuba bangabi ngaphezu kweeyure ezili-16 emsebenzini kunye neeyure ezisibhozo zexesha elicwangcisiweyo lokubhabha.
