Abstract
The author notes that economic deregulation of the airline industry has been responsible for inspection deficiencies in airlines, and for the entry of new airlines into the market that cut operation and maintenance costs. He discusses these issues and others relating to the effect of deregulation on airline safety, under the following topic headings: the unfortunate effects of complete deregulation, deregulatory substitution of lower commuter safety levels for major airline safety levels, damaging effects on the FAA, and current state of the industry's safety system.
