From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Blakey Marion Clifton Blakey (born March 26, 1948) was the 15th Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration. She was the second woman to hold the position, serving as a successor to Jane Garvey, the first woman to hold the Administrator title. There was considerable labor strife and anger among FAA employees during Blakey's reign. She led the FAA's controversial actions to severely cut pay and implement much more stringent work rules for air traffic controllers, which the agency accomplished via declaring impasse during contract negotiations and unilaterally implementing the agency's offer. Also, technical workers expressed their disgust with an FAA offered contract by a 98% "no" vote. During Blakey's reign, the FAA saw airline delays skyrocket, with 2006 being the worst year ever for delays; as of June, 2007, more than twice as many flights were delayed than were delayed in 2002. As of August, 2007, even the FAA's own web sites admitted that delays were 19% greater than 2006. One magazine declared "Almost everything about flying is worse than when she arrived."[5] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Garvey Jane Garvey (Jane Famiano) was head of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration from 1997 to 2002. Garvey earned her B.A. from Mount Saint Mary's College[disambiguation needed] and her M.A. from Mount Holyoke College and has been awarded several honorary degrees. She was appointed by President Bill Clinton and holds several "firsts" for an FAA Administrator: she was the first Administrator appointed to a 5-year term, the first female Administrator, (NOTE VERY IMPORTANT) and the first Administrator who was not a licensed pilot. She had previously worked as a teacher, highway safety administrator, and the director of Logan International Airport. She currently serves as the chairwoman of the Capital-to-Capital Coalition, which works to promote non-stop service between Beijing and Washington Dulles International Airport. In-depth resumes can be found at MITRE and the Flight Safety Foundation. As many have said in previous threads, FAA Diversity has been a miserable FAILURE FAA CIVIL RIGHTS FAA EEO FAA DIVERSITY ALL FAILURES |
