Babbitt Formally Announced as Administration Pick for FAA Head

This afternoon the White House announced that it will, in fact, nominate Randy Babbitt, former ALPA President and aviation consultant, to be head of the Federal Aviation Administration.

Randy, who is here in Phoenix at the Phoenix International Airline Symposium (actually he’s up on stage right now moderating the executive panel) denied reports that he will bring his Hawaiian shirt dress code to the Washington FAA offices in Washington.
