It's no secret that the emergency air medical services industry is a quandary as Congress and regulators ponder its abysmal accident record with an eye on more regulation.
Officials with the Association of Air Medical Services (AAMS), the industry's main trade group, didn't score any points with the regulation gods in an email to reporters as part of the lead-up to their meetings in Washington DC this week however. (Though they did provide a bit of comic relief to this blogger)
See if you can spot the blunder in the title for the FAA's John McGraw at Wednesday's meeting:
