New info[edit]

Good additions to this fledgling article. What are source(s) for her birthdate/place/assumed office? Looked awhile but did not find the info. DonFB (talk) 08:56, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Job scope[edit]

I have a problem with the portion of the lead sentence, " is an American aviation official who". Although best known for their aviation accident investigations, the NTSB investigates all kinds of transportation accidents, including rail, auto, pipeline, etc. To call her an aviation official, defines the scope of her job to be much narrower than it really is.

Relevant enough to be on Wiki?[edit]

Why does this page even exist? This is not relevant information, it is a personal ego stroke placed on Wiki, there are literally thousands of people more relevant than her who do not have Wikipedia pages — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.162.110.46 (talk) 14:28, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

She was certainly notable as Chair of the NTSB and does not lose her notability after leaving office. Sufficient secondary sources exist about her to support this article. You may want to research other former Board chairs and start articles about them, so the encyclopedia will have more coverage of such persons. DonFB (talk) 20:25, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
