What are the odds of getting an FAA admin with a bias toward GA?


Under the current administration, nil. The best we can hope for is a
temporary FAA administrator appointment, and an unbiased permanent
appointment under the new administration in 2009.

Has there ever been one with such a bias?


At least FAA administrators of the past were airmen. What can be done
to see that such a requirement can be reinstated?
