| Biden's FAA Nominee Can't Answer a Single Question About Aviation |
| 2023-03-04 |
| [Townhall] Phil Washington, President Joe Biden's nominee to serve as administrator of the FAA, continues to face questions about his qualifications to serve in the role, and his testimony before Congress isn't dispelling doubts about his ability to run America's civil aviation system and keep its citizens safe when they fly. Already, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) has raised concerns about Washington's experience and resume, suggesting President Biden is "playing politics" rather than prioritizing the safety and efficiency of America's air transportation system. Washington's previous gigs have also seen accusations of wasteful spending and mismanagement of resources, as Townhall reported previously. And, while he served honorably in the military, lawmakers pointed out that Washington has no experience or qualifications related to aviation safety. That was abundantly clear this week as Washington testified before the Senate Commerce Committee when Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) asked Biden's FAA nominee questions that an FAA administrator would need to know. Not only did Washington fail to impress senators with his answers, he had no answers. In fact, it was absolutely brutal. First, Washington was asked a basic question about what airspace designation requires pilots to have an ADS-B transponder. |

| #1 Evidently, he was in charge of Denver International Airport, but knows nothing about aviation. Unfortunately, that sounds credible based on Buttigieg. Give him Buttigieg’s job to satisfy the principle of addiction by subtraction and The Peter Principle simultaneously. Also if he picked the artwork at DIA issue him a white cane. |
