No comment on Ms. Trottenberg or her overall qualifications. She may be the right one to head the FAA. I don't know well enough to say. What I noted, though, is the previous candidate for the job did not pass Senate muster due to lack of aviation experience. FAA experience is not necessarily aviation experience, so the same issue might come up again. Anybody know whether she holds a pilot or controller certificate or has other direct aviation experience?

The only Trottenberg with an FAA Airmen certificate is a Manfred.
