Senate committee approves FAA nominee over Democrats' objections
President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Federal Aviation Administration won approval from a Senate committee Wednesday despite objections from Democrats who questioned the actions of the former Delta Air Lines executive in a case involving a pilot who raised safety issues.
If approved, Dickson would head an agency that is investigating one of Petitt's allegations, that Delta failed to implement required safety procedures. Cantwell said Dickson failed to mention the matter in committee testimony, but senators later found documents about the case. "I believe Mr. Dickson is an excellent nominee for this position," Wicker said."I think he will bring commitment, experience and expertise necessary to lead the FAA and fulfill its mission."
Dickson, who was an Air Force pilot before joining Delta as a pilot and rising to senior vice president of flight operations, has broad support from the airline industry.
