I'm sure you're right, but he did cross the Atlantic, following Franklin as the ambassador to France. "No one can replace Dr. Franklin. I am only his successor."

Article today (09/07/10) from the Washington Post on operational errors at PCT.

Raw deal or reality? They do have some of the toughest airspace in the nation.

this is the report filed by the FAAs Quality Control Group after visiting PCT for about a week:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv...ffic083010.pdf

https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=h...T2010083002765

the two biggest finds were a poor relationship between IAD and PCT and that at PCT "the number of Operational Errors is not disproportionately high for a facility of its size, complexity and number of operations performed."

basically, the media continues to not understand anything about what ATCers do.

I was wondering if you know anything about PCT's hiring levels coming up.

Thanks
