Well-Known Critic Of The Agency Expected To Shake Things Up

President Donald Trump has nominated Aero-News Network CEO and Editor-in-Chief Jim Campbell as the next administrator of the FAA.

Washington insiders say the nomination of someone who has been at times an outspoken critic of the agency is consistent with the President’s nominations for other top posts, such as EPA, Education and Energy.

“I love critics. Nobody loves critics more than me, I can tell you,” President Trump said. “And I said a while back that there needs to be a pilot at the head of this agency, and I understand this guy Campbell is a pilot, so that’s huge.”

FAA Administrator Michael Huerta said that he was surprised that the nomination would be made while he still has nearly a year left on his five-year term, but said “I don’t know why. Nothing about this town should surprise me any more.”

Campbell said he was looking forward to the new challenge, as was his wife Masako, who hopes to establish a fashion line with Ivanka Trump. A new FAA logo and official golf shirts are already on Masako’s drawing board, Campbell said. “She’s got some really great ideas.”

Campbell’s nomination would have to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate. “I’m wondering if I have to put on a tie for the confirmation hearings,” Campbell said.
 
Mr Campbell knows how to dress for a hearing. But from prior threads and transcripts of his hearings he has no clue how to answer a question.

I would feel safer having him at the helm... of nothing!
 
Well at least the part that there needs to be a pilot at the top of the FAA was the truth. Though I would say any certificated airman who has the right experience would be good. Same goes for the folks right under the administrator. There are too many people with no real aviation knowledge who make policy and decide things that impact aviation.
 
Only that baffoon would write an article about himself for his own idiotic april fools day rag.
 
Zoom for head of the FAA ? As if late night talk show hosts don't have enough "self-written" material now !

I see you've bought into the media BS and fake chaos. LOL.

Looks to me like it's just foggy out today.

Helps if you turn the 24 hour non-news all-propaganda TV off.

All that crap was going on before we had satellites to beam it to your house. Promise. We used to read about it two or three days later in this thing called a newspaper. Folks were a lot less interested in it, back then. Some days you didn't even read the front page before someone cleaned up the dog poop with it.
 
Anything's an improvement, I was hoping.....
 
This was just crazy enough to maybe be true... had me going for a while... what gave it away for me was "Huerta's" reaction. Still a good AFP.., one of the best I've seen in a while
 
It was an obvious joke from the first sentence. After all everyone knows Trump will nominate his personal pilot.
