Stand aside Evan. The rush of associations rushing to send out letters telling Mr. Babbitt that he’s the best thing since sliced bread have already begun hitting the streets.

I think I’ll give him a couple of weeks to settle in first. I honestly think the agency has become too large for one person to lead though.

The leadership structure for the ATO sounded like a good idea a few years ago, but it seems to have had little useful effect … did it?

Come to think of it, I hear almost nothing about ATO anyway.

I hope he does something to address the FAA’s network security issues:
