American Airlines pilots will comply with the subpoenas to be interviewed by the National Transportation Safety Board regarding the close call at JFK airport last month.
The NTSB is seeking to get recorded interviews from the pilots regarding the incident. The agency said it"NTSB has determined that this investigation requires that the flight crew interviews be audio recorded and transcribed by a court reporter to ensure the highest degree of accuracy, completeness, and efficiency," the agency said in a preliminary report.
"As a result of the flight crew’s repeated unwillingness to proceed with a recorded interview, subpoenas for their testimony have been issued." After the incident, one of a handful of close calls in recent months, acting FAA Administrator Billy Nolen declared that he was forming a review team to analyze the aviation system. "We are experiencing the safest period in aviation history, but we cannot take this for granted," Nolen wrote in a memo this week.
