Mr Budd is obviously a racist working for mister Charley. Otherwise he wouldnt ask such relevant questions.

My 23 year old who is going for his pilots license is more qualified. I showed this to my son and he answered many of the questions correctly before Mr. Budd finished asking lol. My son was stunned.

Wow, just WOW.
I don't understand how anyone can defend this current administration seeing things like this.

What prior qualifications does the head of the FAA typically have?
This confirmation hearing sure makes him seem like an idiot, but are these things he is required or suppose to know in order to have a administration position?
A quick search led me to find there is more to him being a "high school dropout". He is a 24 year Army vet, retiring as a CSM, and has a bachelors in business admin and a masters degree in management. In 20 years he has been retired from the Army, he was CEO of several very large municipal transportation agencies, most recently the CEO of Dallas International Airport.

It is very deceiving, in that clip he appears very stupid and totally ignorant of the job requirements but then there's this " He was expelled from high school at 17, joined the military, & went on to get a Masters degree. Although not a pilot, he is the CEO of Denver Int'l Airport, and had previous transportation jobs. BTW 2 other FAA administrators weren't pilots."
So who really knows? I'm not going to dig and investigate, but I do try to be fair.

Well....Biden also put a clueless moron as head of transportation department becauses hes gay. Then you have Rachel "Dick" Levine as assistant director of health because she/he/it is....well I am not sure. So we see the theme here.
This is a very deceiving clip. Very deceiving. I do not know what it takes to lead the FAA. No clue.
Sure, it is true that he was a high school drop out. That is fact. It is also fact that he has multiple degrees, it is a fact that he served in the Army for 24 years and it is a fact that he ran two large airports.
Again, not sure what is needed to be in charge of the FAA.

High school dropout does not equate to ignorant. This is an extremely unfortunate interview, and does not cast him in any kind of favorable light at all.
That being said, being the CEO of an airport is hardly a qualifier in my book. CEO seats are not typically filled with the kind of people who know things… with some notable exceptions here and there they are filled with people who delegate not people who possess knowledge and the ability to act on it.

I still have no clue what is needed for this position. I have looked at some of the prior administrators of this position, many do not seem to qualified all that much either.

Well I have to agree with you there. But I still would have expected better answers.
As would I. I think. I do not know if those questions fall into what the job entails. I would think they do, but there is not a list of qualifications that I can find.

I would think the head of a regulatory administration should have some familiarity with that administration's rules.

"Senate confirmation hearing", was he shot down for the job? I would bet not and it wont surprise me when he is confirmed.

Where's our resident liberal troll to defend this appointment?
Well Zhou Bia-Den did appoint this "thing" to be "the" nuclear waste person - actually doubt Zhou Bia-Den appointed anyone.
That's handled by Obola's Kalorama Kommie Komintern - Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants isn't in charge of anything.

Why? Politicians that write our laws have no idea what is constitutional and what is not.

I am a licensed pilot. I own an airplane. As an owner and pilot I am required to know every single answer to the questions asked in that hearing, and a whole lot more, with precise details in many instances. Could the last two FAA Administrators answer them? Actually, no. Do I think that’s a big problem in modern government? Take a wild guess.

Yes, it’s a lie that he dropped out of high school. He was expelled! (Look it up.)
Nice to find so many white knights for this corrupt CRT/DIE diversity candidate with no related experience in aviation safety and a dismal record in city transit. Stay in New York, y’all will love it.
