Default FAA Administrator

Let's start over...Scene 1, Take 2.

Everyone seems to want an experienced, labor friendly Administrator who can lead the FAA into the 21st Century and address the issues that we all face every day. I agree. This is an important appointment.The entire federal air traffic control system needs to be re-vamped and changes need to be made that will enable our air traffic system to handle the expected growth of the next decades.

Why not make Robert (Bobby) Sturgill, the Acting Administrator, the next permanent Administrator ? He was a line pilot for United, an ALPA member and has worked in the higher eschelons of the FAA for the past several years. He knows the ropes and has demonstrated that he can lead. Why waste an appointment with Duane Woerth, or anyone else, who will have to go through a learning curve and then maybe, will prove to be an acceptable choice.

BTW, if you want to bash Senator Obama, President Bush, the Democrats, Republicans, Liberals, Communists, yada, yada...go somewhere else...please.

Thanks and G'Day Mates
