Thumbs down Former ALPA President in line for FAA Administrator Position

There are a number of ALPA people who believe that Duane Woerth would be an extremely poor choice for the FAA Administrator position. I share that viewpoint. Some of us that are following this issue are afraid his appointment is going to happen because it is not a high profile appointment when you consider the appointments President-elect Obama is having to made quickly because of the financial crisis.
To get a better prospective of how many of the ALPA pilots feel about Woerth, please take a look at this blog:

Hopefully this will provide additional information to those of you that are interested in this issue.
