Nothing screws up a major program as well as a major reorganization at the
development stage of the program. The new telephone books will be a
bestseller. I suppose physically changing desks can happen when they move
to the DOT building. What do they mean by permanent leaders or am I just
stuck in the past when civil service was considered permanent. Will the
permanent leadership be FAA?

I used to be in the Air Traffic safety office. There was a time then that
we were to be moved to AVS, much to the distress of AAT-1. As it happens
there was an Administration change (at the White House that is) and we were
able to drag our feet and then convince the new OST that it was a bad idea.
I can hear some of you going tut tut on our going
against accepted wisdom, but I think it was the right decision. Matter of
fact, due to my inflated opinion of myself, I would say that if I had
stayed in Montreal a couple of more years ICAO's position on the matter
would be different.

I have read others who question policy and legal being in the same office.
Is Certification landing under the Deputy a downgrade?.

Major reorganizations disrupt informal organizations and you have to find
out who's actually doing something, all over again.

Cheers
