Much of the industry, including the major airlines and their trade groups, supports Bryan Bedford’s nomination.

But pilots unions and Democrats have raised concerns that he might weaken pilot training standards.

Bedford said his priority is modernizing air traffic control system, not privatizing system.

Bedford has been CEO of regional airline Republic Airways since 1999 .

If confirmed, Bedford will also lead the FAA ’s effort to incorporate drones and flying taxis into the nation’s airspace safely. Trump signed executive orders last week to encourage development of that emerging technology. Your donation makes a difference in these uncertain times.
