FAA administrator Steve Dickson will step down midway through his term
|

Hattip 3dc. NPR’s original headline was Steve Dickson, Trump-appointed FAA head, to resign ..., referring his nomination in 2019. One wonders how much mutual annoyance he and his boss, the famous Buttigieg (or however it’s spelt) experienced from one another before he decided to walk away. I doubt BootyGig is the problem. He rarely shows up for work
[NPR] The head of the Federal Aviation Administration, who took over the agency as it was reeling from allegations of lax oversight in the aftermath of two Boeing 737 MAX airplane crashes, is stepping down.
FAA Administrator Steve Dickson is a former Air Force and Delta Air Lines pilot who worked his way up to be Delta's senior vice president of flight operations.
He came out of retirement from Delta to head up the FAA, which at the time was under intense scrutiny for certifying Boeing's 737 MAX jetliner, when two of the planes crashed and killed a total of 346 people.
The FAA had approved the new jetliner while knowing little about an automated flight control system that crash Sherlocks blame for playing a significant role in the crashes.
Dickson refused to approve the 737 MAX to fly passengers again until he flew the plane himself, which he did in September of 2020.
Dickson told FAA employees in a letter that he was proud of his tenure, saying, "The agency is in a better place than it was two years ago, and we are positioned for great success."
He said his decision comes with "mixed emotions and a heavy heart."
"Nevertheless, after sometimes long and unavoidable periods of separation from my loved ones during the pandemic, it is time to devote my full time and attention to them. As I wrote in my letter to President Joe Biden
 ...... 46th president of the U.S., who gives the term geriatric a bad name. He blames Afghans for losing Afghanistan.......
, it is time to go home," he told employees.
