These FAA tests are ignoring: 👉Passengers like me who live with a disability 👉Seniors who might take longer to get down the aisle 👉Kids and infants 👉Those who don't speak English fluently And they aren’t adequately considering the ever-decreasing size of seats. And more. — PolitiTweet.org

Right now, the FAA requires that passengers be able to evacuate an aircraft within 90 seconds. But the simulation tests that help set this standard were only conducted with 60 able-bodied adults. 60 able-bodied adults. That’s just not the reality of flying in America today. — PolitiTweet.org

I can’t remember the last time I was on a flight like that—and I’d bet you can’t either. That's why I introduced my EVAC Act to require the FAA to finally establish an evacuation standard that takes into account the actual, real-life scenarios we all face every time we fly. — PolitiTweet.org
