Sturgell is apparently wanting to keep things just the way they are. That CAN'T be good for us NOR ATC. JMHO
Perhaps Bobby Sturgell isn't the best choice. I cast a vote for him because of his previous work, because he was an actual line pilot and an active ALPA member. After having worked under/for Duane Worth at National for several years and having been an ALPA member under his presidency, I'll take Sturgell, or
anyone else, any day. Whom would you select ?
I also think who ever is selected, is going to be in for a tough time with the "do nothing" Congress that's in session and the economic realities of the day. Hopefully, I'm wrong.
