According to whistleblowers the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have spent five million dollars to bring 3, 600 managers to a conference in Atlanta critics say this was no more than an excuse to throw a three-week-long Christmas party.
Undercover footage of a video will be broadcast tonight on ABC World News, which shows FAA managers drinking heavily s after a day of meetings. This comes at a bad time especially as Americans continue to simmer over Wall Street’s manhandling of the economy.

One employee mentioned to an undercover reporter “It is nothing but a party,” In response the FAA said that it was not a party but essential training sessions for the managers to learn.
