From the article:
Rather than a nationwide system outage that grounded all flights or an unresolved ATC staffing shortage that forced airlines to curtail flights to East Coast airports before the summer travel season, this time it’s just a soon-to-be-empty position that’s likely to bring even more trouble for the U.S. air transportation system.
You see, the FAA’s current Acting Administrator, Billy Nolen, is stepping down this summer, leaving the FAA without one.
After news of Nolen’s departure, Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Sam Graves (R-MO) noted that the acting administrator had “performed admirably under difficult circumstances at a time when the FAA ‘fills a number of vacancies in senior leadership positions. , including the post of administrator.’
For whatever reason, Biden did not nominate Nolen to the role and left him as acting administrator, but Chairman Graves said that, “based on his time at the helm of the agency in his current role, I believe showed that he would have been an able administrator. had he been appointed and confirmed.”
