How can an implication be an "outright lie"? An outright lie is
something
like the DOT IG's claim to Congress that 75% of the FAA's enroute
ARTCC's
are "overstaffed."

I'd have to go with Mead.


That doesn't surprise me.

He is my hand picked guy. Back when I used a first amendment petition
to
get the ACOs to produce qualified degignees, Mead at GAO was also
involved
on the MIDO side; with the same issue. Mead was removed from aviation
issues at GAO, as punnishment for being honest. I used my Congressman's
staff to put Mead at USDOT, as I felt it was a huge waste of 20 years of
aviation experiance. I talked to Ken after that and he got a nice raise
to
be IG.


Ah, now it all becomes clear. YOU put Mead where he is.

I made it possible for Mead to go where he is. Anytime a civil servant is
removed from an issue, they require an advocate to bring them back. It
helped that my Congressman was Chair of Government Oversight and Reform back
then, he is now Chair of Ways and Means. The reform of FAA has been a very
effective Republican political issue, not to mention the lives that have
been saved.

That explains why
he knows as much about Air Traffic Control as you do.

LOL

If you say so. Perhaps your partisanship to the issue has blinded you. I
seriously doubt either of us knows as much about air traffic control as
Mead.

Thanks for clearing
that up for me.

Mead is an honest guy, who tells it like it is.
