Senate Commerce Committee chair Maria Cantwell told reporters she hoped Whitaker can be confirmed before acting FAA Administrator Polly Trottenberg steps down next week. Whitaker said the FAA must address a spate of near-miss airplane incidents and"really drive the most serious ones down to a level of zero."
