… something seems really “uncool” about shoving Orville and Wilbur into some broom closet. Dare I say it? I’m offended.

comments from the sec…’ The department also said it will begin sunsetting legacy systems and embracing advanced technologies as it works to “streamline our processes, consolidate administrative functions, and modernize our infrastructure to better serve the American public.”

Note that your pilot certificate is issued by the DOT, not the FAA.

I agree. Every time DoT or FAA moves… they only vacate a portion of the building. They end up having two locations spreading out resources with skeleton crews. Plus, I don’t trust Duffy!

“streamline our processes, consolidate administrative functions, and modernize our infrastructure to better serve the American public.”

That sounds like boilerplate blandishments to me. Moves are hugely expensive and disruptive, and should only be done when you can come up with a much better reason than the FAA’s word salad.
