He's suggesting you call up Steve Talbot (734)487-7252 and ask him him if he is either a chump or just another 100% incompetent FAA employee coasting his way to retirement on the taxpayer dime. Do it the way you would ask one of your Sgt Instructors from Quantico the same question for best results.
Everyone in that office, from the janitors, to the POIs, to Stevie Wonder at the top are very motivated to just be dumb, count their $$$, and look the other way.
And they excel at it.
