ValuJet attendants demand removal of top executives
Atlanta flight attendants urge the DOT to oust ValuJet chairman Robert Priddy and president Lewis Jordan before planes resume flying after the FAA grounded the carrier on June 17 following the May 11 Everglades crash that killed 110. Union officials accuse the leaders of unsafe management and cite prior FAA scrutiny and poor worker conditions including low wages and unfavorable uniform and hiring practices.
