Well… keep Christopher Joseph Rocheleau.

Hey, he does check many of the right boxes. First, he’s a pilot, and with commercial and instrument ratings he should be well familiar with the workings of the ATC system. Finally, he has extensive industry experience and is not some sycophant Fox and Friends commentator.

Type his name into any pilot forum.

I’m confident that Bryan Bedford, as CEO of Republic Airways with extensive corporate management experience and as a pilot, is well-prepared to learn the system and effectively fulfill the requirements for FAA Administrator. The key concern, however, is selecting someone with strong prior experience to ensure a smoother and more efficient transition into the role. Think learning curve.

As for Christopher Joseph Rocheleau–I’d say keep him in mind as well.

This is a man who bankrupted 2 airlines, failed miserably to run MidWest and Frontier.
He has put his personal wealth and corporate profits above safety. Republic was originally his effort to bust the union at Chautauqua airlines. He took a seat out of the EMB 190’s to avoid paying pilots . He wrote an open message to his employees about the evils of contraception. God is his condom. God makes all the decisions for him in his business and life.
He is a perfect fit for this Trump regime, but a dangerous choice for leading the FAA.

Unbelievable, thank you for that. Sounds like another disturbing entry into the new US government opportunity for wealthy grifters who long ago reached their personal Peter Principle of incompetence.
Where will GA fit in?
