Sounds like the FW centric FAA needs to re-organize and split Rotorcraft issues and oversight into a separate and new Directorate with a large Office in Oklahoma City.
That. has been the Achilles Heel of the FAA since helicopters first appeared....all of the Regs and Rules were based upon Airplanes and they never quite caught up as the Fixed Wing Mafia garnered the promotions and choice assignments and the Rotorcraft only guys missed those opportunities.
Just one man's opinion.....prove me wrong.
