Davids materially advanced legislation directly matching the promise: she helped introduce the ALERT Act, voted it through committee, and announced House passage. The bill text would require FAA assessments of congested-airport arrival/departure rates and aircraft spacing in complex airspace. However, the available record shows only House passage and Davids herself said a final bipartisan bill was still needed to implement the safety measures. Because the promised FAA requirements were not finally enacted or implemented, this is a serious same-term legislative effort but not delivered.
