In 1837, Danish author, Hans Christian Andersen, wrote a wonderful fairy
tale which he titled The Emperor's New Clothes. It may be the very
first example of the power of political correctness. It is the story of
the Ruler of a distant land who was so enamored of his appearance (FAA
MANAGEMENT) and his clothing that he had a different suit for every hour
of the day.

One day two rogues arrived in town, claiming to be gifted weavers. They
convinced the Emperor (ASO FAA Management) that they could weave the
most wonderful cloth, which had a magical property. The clothes were
only visible to those who were completely pure in heart and spirit.

The Emperor (ASO FAA Management) was impressed and ordered the weavers
to begin work immediately. The rogues, who had a deep understanding of
human nature, began to feign work on empty looms.

Minister after minister went to view the new clothes and all came back
exhorting the beauty of the cloth on the looms even though none of them
could see a thing.

Finally a grand procession was planned for the Emperor (ASO FAA
Management) to display his new finery. The Emperor went to view his
clothes and was shocked to see absolutely nothing, but he pretended to
admire the fabulous cloth, inspect the clothes with awe, and, after
disrobing, go through the motions of carefully putting on a suit of the
new garments.

Under a royal canopy the Emperor appeared to the admiring throng of his
people - - all of whom cheered and clapped because they all knew the
rogue weavers' tale and did not want to be seen as less than pure of heart.

But, the bubble burst when an innocent child loudly exclaimed, for the
whole kingdom to hear, that the Emperor had nothing on at all. He had
no clothes.

And now, a good example of the above.

REAL WORLD
Year 2005 Pay Survey

Notice in the above link TECHNICAL disciplines like Computer Science and
ELECTRONIC Engineering make an average of 15.5 percent MORE
compensation than:

Civil Engineering Degrees

Notice also that Technical disciplines are compensated 25 percent more than:

Business Administration Degrees

So, why are most of the so called MANAGERS?? in the Southern Region FAA
making MORE money with Non-Technical degrees than the people under them
with TECHNICAL degrees or training???

Are you Curious???

Maybe a little SOCIAL ENGINEERING at work regardless of TECHNICAL
Qualifications in the FAA???

The FAA is a TECHNICAL organization responsible for Air Safety being
managed by NON-TECHNICAL UNQUALIFIED no NAS background people under PC
and Social Engineering edicts sent down by NON-TECHNICAL FAA Emperors.

Safety is a risk. Call your Congressional representative and ask:

Why are NON-TECHNICAL people managing TECHNICAL people in the Southern
Region FAA? Why do FAA Middle Managers inform their most experienced
technical people:

"You don't need a Technical background to manage people in a TECHNICAL
discipline"(Atlanta SMO Manager quote to a 26 year NAVCOM TID last year)

Inquiring minds would like to know how you justify a backwards
management and compensation philosophy like the above??

Maybe SOCIAL ENGINEERING supersedes AIR SAFETY in the new but distorted
FAA??

"THE EMPEROR (FAA SOUTHERN REGION MANAGEMENT) HAS NO CLOTHES"
"POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS TYRANNY WITH MANNERS"
