"Nominate". Not "draft". I'd love to see him do it, but only if he truly wanted the position.



I do think he would particularly excel at it. Unfortunately, thanks to our wonderful beauracracy, we'll see an otherwise useless politician stuck in the position if I had to imagine. Someone who will drive the FAA aimlessly until someone else can take his place.

Done. It's worth a try. I have watched him testify several times now regarding flight time duty time along with his involvement with capa. I think he would do a great job.

I think Sully would be great, but I doubt the ATA Lobby will allow it.
They are the ones who PAY the Politicians (think re-election campaign contributions) who would have to vote on it.

They are probably the same Lobbiests who took Randy out for dinner the other night and put -something- in his drink to block the new FTDT regs...

Unfortunately this is the truth.

Additionally, Sully doesn't have any executive management experience that I know of.

That didn't stop the **** ... ooops, political - sorry.

In truth, I'm told Sullenberger has a pretty high IQ - so there's no way he'd take the job.

One of Dan Akroyd or Bill Murray's characters would be a better fit.

Appointing Sully wouldn't pay back any backroom political cronies that are due, so it will never happen.
