A small caution on the Obama/Messiah complex. There's no disputing he's a likeable guy, but that doesn't automatically correlate with the best decisions. A steady stream of genuinely sharp, knowledgable operators have steadily jumped or been pushed out of positions of influence in ATC to make way for a bunch of true clowns and self-serving poseurs. Confusion and moronic decision-making (FRMS anybody?) reigns. Some irreparable damage has to be owned.
