hi all,
thanks chip D for your perspective. but as someone who spent 38 yrs on the inside,
i.e. atc, it was great to have someone who had some aviation experience.
Mr washington, one yr aviation office at denver as a ceo. previous office LA transportation, now embroiled in past corruption and scandal.
no thanks, i’ll pass on him.
as to the atc gaffes, this can only be stopped by direct supervision. too many young newbies. more will happen until a castrophe. the only way is to have enough supervisors in the twr cab or radar room, directly listening to and monitoring the action. the faa cannot rely on newbies, probably working combined positions, and also acting as
CiC- controller in charge
this is not just related to aviation.
look at the latest train derailments. 2 people working on a 137car freight train. my god , how about someone in the very back watching ahead ?
again, ive met billy nolen. hes smart, well spoken, knowledgeable, he talked about
mosiac, staffing & covid at the cert branch in okc, 100LL, etc.
jack pelton was an excellent host and asked good questions.
his most greatest qualifications are his safety related jobs. especially right now!
yes also as others, i didnt think id ever agree with ted cruz, but hes got this one correct!
please consider Mr. Billy Nolan as permanent FAA administrator.
respectfully,
michael.
