Trump Appoints New Acting Head of FAA

A good pick, says the former acting head.

The former acting Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator Billy Nolen said during an interview that President Trump made an "excellent choice" in tapping Christopher Rocheleau as the agency's next leader.

"It's a great decision. Chris, when I joined the FAA, was my No. 2. I think the world of him, and I think the president has made an excellent choice," Nolen said during his Thursday appearance on NewsNation's show "The Hill."

Trump also ordered an investigation into the crash and issued another Executive Order instructing the FAA to elevate "competence" over DEI.

What an idea, that the people in the towers keeping airplanes from hitting each other should be there do to competence and qualifications and not based on whether they read Ibram X. Kendhi or not.

As you know from yesterday, the FAA has been criminally understaffed for a year (or more) due to Biden refusing to hire qualified white candidates, leaving hiring open only for minorities.

This is a fact; the understaffing of the FAA has been reported since at least as early as February, 2024, and there is a lawsuit of 3,000 candidates for Air Traffic Control jobs who passed test to be hired, but who were then put on hold so that the FAA could change the test to be "biographical," i.e., they ask you about your race and what your race has taught you about guiding planes in to a runway safely. The 3,000 white candidates who passed the real test failed to pass the "Are you Black?" test, because they're not.

This was all by design. The FAA can claim that its Racial Ratios are "improving" because they're just refusing to hire white traffic controllers.

And if the towers are manned by half the staff needed? Oh well. It's more important to make the DEI numbers look good!

CNN's witch-faced megac*nt Kaitlin Collins demands Trump stop bringing up this highly-relevant fact:

Note that the attack line she takes -- "you shouldn't politicize a tragedy so early" -- is singularly inappropriate for a hack from CNN. On the night of the crash, CNN's DEI dummy Abby Phillip repeatedly attempted to blame Trump's eight days in office for the crash.

Another line of attack is that Trump/Musk "forced out" the serving head of the FAA, as if a guy leaving precipitates a crash three days later.

I don't know anything about the head of the FAA. I do know this is the guy Biden nominated, before his complete lack of any qualifications apart from Muh Racial Identity forced him to withdraw.

I would say Biden's determination to hire this completely unqualified person tells the story about what's been going on at the FAA at lower levels for the past few years, and may explain the crash.

BTW, there were some Twitter claims that the pilot of the Blackhawk was a transgender. While there is a Blackhawk transgender pilot, xe had nothing to do with this crash.

I fought Disinformation. I'm a Disinformation Expert now.
