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
Fine by me on all accounts. I have no problem with that. I admit that until I Wikipediad" ?" it, I thougt that lady, Marion Blakely, who forced Age 65 down our throat, was still the Administrator.

Looks like Sturgill has been in there since late last year. Do you know when and why he left United?
