A former union boss? I'm sure he's squeaky clean.

well, that ought to prevent any ‘change’ or ‘hope’ from coming about in our airline industry!!

No GPS, new generation, more efficient air traffic system for the U.S.!! We’ll stay back in the 20th century thank you. Those people manually directly every single plane can not be replaced any more than those guys who move containers around at the docks for $95,000 a year (plus benefits).

In a former life I was invovled with ALPA and know Babbitt from that experience. I don’t know what he has been up to since leaving ALPA. Really unsure what direction he will go.
