Christopher Hart Acting Chairman, NTSB Reed Timmer Storm Chasers "There are always new ways to fine-tune and revisit our existing systems to prevent bad things from happening." "There is always a better way to stay out of trouble." "Change is necessary." "Predictable is preventable. The errors you're going to make can be predicted from the errors already made." "Our public and personnel deserve better than minimum standards. We have got to be constantly improving our operations. Status quo is no longer acceptable." "If you go back to your respective workplace and actually try to institute change for the better, many of you will face an uphill battle, and you may pay a career price for your legitimate and honest efforts to address risks. I have seen this in so many government operations since there is no personal penalty for being satisfied with mediocrity." "We've come a long way, but as you know, it's a journey and not a destination." "You always have to expect the unexpected with weather." "I look forward to talking with you more about what we do on the ground and learning what you do as air traffic controllers. There are a lot of parallels between what we do, and I look forward to sharing information that could help the people in the paths of these storms." "The best way to address the complexity of these systems is to address it collaboratively." "If you're involved in the problem, you need to be involved in the solution."
