I slipped him 30 bucks not to. You’re too cheap.

Just 'acting'. Temp position until the permanent nominee is confirmed.

I could post an answer, but it would get the thread locked.

Meh....he's worked at the FAA for a while. He might know where the bodies are buried.

 

[geezer]

He also does not ride VIP military helicopters.

Has good pedigree. Don’t see any skeletons in the closet. Gonna be interesting to see what he’s going to do. Who is DOT

 

[Half Fast]

A few highlights:

"He departed the agency (FAA) in 2022 to join the NBAA, where he serves as chief operating officer."​

​

"Between stints at the FAA, Rocheleau was a senior policy advisor at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)."​

​

"Before then, he was an officer and special agent with the U.S Air Force. He retired from the Air Force Reserve in 2010 as a lieutenant colonel."​

​

"The Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) also backed Rocheleau’s selection...."​

I'd say we're doomed.

Who is DOT

DOT is not a person. It's an acronym for "Department Of Transportation."

Glad to have helped.

Not having airline experience may prove to be a plus for GA.

Not having any aviation experience at all, he probably doesn't even know GA exists.
