Lawmakers in Congress can't work together — and aviation experts say it's making it harder to keep the skies safe

• "Gridlock" in Congress is in part to blame for safety risks in the skies, aviation experts said. 
• The group, formed by the FAA, said insufficient funding is hampering the FAA. 
• "The FAA has insufficient resources to carry out its portfolio of responsibilities," the report says. 

An independent team of experts formed by the Federal Aviation Administration has blamed "recurring gridlock" in Congress and insufficient industry funding for the growing safety risks in the skies.
