thanks for the coverage, Bob. I take it this call is press only?

[Comment From Aaron Westendorp]
Bob, you think that this will change opinion on the preformance of the FAA?
9:03
Appears to be for press only.
9:04
Babbit: We've reviewed how we establish, maintain, communicaitons with aircraft. We've also looked at the procedures when losing contact with an aircraft. We'll revise our own internal training.
