I just read that the acting head of ATC will be the FAA's Chief Counsel (gasp!) Anyone who has read some of the official interpertations of regulations coming out of that office knows there is a significant lack of understanding about aviation operations. (Think about the infamous "known icing" interpertation letter that completely ignored the work "known"). I have not read one interpertation that didn't somehow scream "I don't know anything about aviation but I have I law degree so I must be an expert".
We could be out of the frying pan and into the fire!
