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.
This sounds like the rantings of one of Prater's boys. What would have been really scary would have been to read that the CURRENT ALPA President was being considered.
Duane Woerth may have had failings; but he knew how to admit mistakes and get things fixed. The incumbent ALPA President can't figure out how to do much more than smoke big stogies, drink expensive booze and prance around trying to act like a big union boss.
And then there's Prater's "secret weapon"... the blow up rat. 
Prater. What a disgrace to the profession.
