The "Iron Law of Bureaucracy" prevails. (by Jerry Pournelle, and is a variation of the more well known "Iron Law of Oligarchy")
The man or woman officially "in charge" of any organization like the FAA can have very little impact, either short or long term.
Hence, I've decided not to worry too much about the current flavor of the month. It's not worth the heartburn.
