DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
[DOT Docket No. DOT-OST-2010-0074]
The Future of Aviation Advisory Committee (FAAC) Subcommittee on
Labor and World-Class Workforce; Notice of Meeting
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary of Transportation, Department of
Transportation.
ACTION: The Future of Aviation Advisory Committee (FAAC) Subcommittee
on Labor and World-class Workforce; amendment to notice of meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Transportation (DOT), Office of the
Secretary of Transportation, announced a meeting of the FAAC
Subcommittee on Labor and World-class Workforce, which will be held via
teleconference. A call-in number and pass code will be issued upon
registration. This notice announced the date and time of the meeting,
which will be open to the public. The purpose of the FAAC is to provide
advice and recommendations to the Secretary of Transportation to ensure
the competitiveness of the U.S. aviation industry and its capability to
effectively manage the evolving transportation needs, challenges, and
opportunities of the global economy. The subcommittee is charged with
ensuring the availability and quality of a workforce necessary to
support a robust, expanding commercial aviation industry in light of
the changing socio-economic dynamics of the world's technologically
advanced economies. Among other matters, the subcommittee will examine
three issues affecting the future employment requirements of the
aviation industry: (1) The need for science, technology, engineering,
and math skills in the industry; (2) the creation of a culture of
dignity and respect in workplace; and (3) the effect of NextGen on
various workforces. This teleconference meeting was described as
``solely for discussion with Mr. Joshua M. Javits, a professional
arbitrator and mediator, who has mediated a number of air carrier
labor-management disputes.'' However, at the subcommittee meeting on
September 23, 2010, it was determined additional time would be needed
during the October 1, 2010, meeting to refine the subcommittee's topic
proposals for presentation to the full FAAC on October 20, 2010.
Accordingly, in addition to the scheduled discussion with Mr. Javits on
October 1, the subcommittee will discuss possible actionable items for
presentation at the October 20 FAAC meeting in Los Angeles, California,
and work related to the general responsibilities of the subcommittee.
DATES: The meeting will be held on October 1, 2010, from 1 p.m. to 4
p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held via teleconference. A call-in
number and pass code will be issued upon registration. (See below for
