New FAA Boss Takes A Cautious Stand Within Minutes of Swearing In
The Boeing 737 MAX controversy, for all of its media-driven hysteria, is obviously of supreme concern to anyone working at the FAA these days... especially if you're the new Boss. Right after brand-new Admin Dickson shook hands with SecDoT Chao after his swearing-in, Dickson started to set the language he'll be using as he goes forward with an extraordinary issue he became heir to, following two high-profile foreign accidents, a lot of verbal sword-play from elected officials (many of whom don't know an aileron from their posterior) and the media hysteria and inaccuracies (of which there were simply too many to measure) that have overtly complicated the job at hand.
