The problem is, Dickson is going to have to learn how to fly first
Sorry Boeing.
It helps to read the excerpt, if not the article:
"Dickson, a former pilot who is licensed to fly the 737"
Real funny, idiot.
Dickson recently retired from service as the senior vice president of Flight Operations for Delta Air Lines.
In this role, he was responsible for the safety and operational performance of Delta’s global flight operations, as well as pilot training, crew resources, crew scheduling, and regulatory compliance. He also flew in line operations as an A320 captain, and previously flew the B727, B737, B757, and B767 during his career. Captain Dickson is a strong advocate for commercial aviation safety and improvements to our National Airspace System, having served as chairman of several industry stakeholder groups and Federal advisory committees.
A former United States Air Force Officer and F-15 fighter pilot, Dickson is a Distinguished Graduate of the Class of 1979 at the United States Air Force Academy, as well as a graduate of the Georgia State University College of Law, magna cum laude.
Does the FAA superpilot realize that if he gets into trouble during the flight that FADEC will only give him computed engine power and not 100% of what the engines are capable of? That premise is what is killing people.
