I can simplify ALL of this nonsensical superfluous diatribe. If YOU – any one of us here – owned a Company and needed a CEO to run, say, a plumbing operation, would you hire a person who didn’t know a nipple from a coupling from a drain valve? Be honest! Let’s say some PhD in Leadership showed up and had a half decent resume of running the Olympics – kinda like Michael Huerta – would THAT qualify him to run your plumbing operation? See the problem here. Usually, running ANY sort of operation requires – as a minimum – a modicum of knowledge of what the hell is going on FIRST. Only then does other people and management skills enter the decision making.
Washington is NOT qualified … PERIOD !! Nolen at least knows where the hot air comes ouot of a jet engine. Hire him! I spoke directl to him at Airventure 2022 … he seemed prepared to answer relevant questions unlike Washington.
