TSA FIRES GOOD GUY, BUT FAILS TO SCREEN ITS OWN EMPLOYEES
| As we all know, the Transportation Security Administration, TSA, fired its universally loved Training Academy chiefýWilli Ellison. His crime: doing a good job. (As we have said, the TSA wants this program to fail). He set up a good training program within the TSAýs lousy policies. Willi, who often said, ýI like my job, but I love my staffý (and they feel the same about him), assembled a top-notch training staff and was responsible for the good aspects of the Federal Flight Deck Officer (FFDO) training. To give you an idea of the depth of the juvenile behavior of TSA Washington bureaucrats, Willi was chastised for hosting a barbecue reception for the first class of FFDOs. We have been informed that TSA instructors were told not to fraternize with the pilots. Usually you have to be a middle school student to be around such petty, malicious, vindictive behavior. The TSA has announced they are moving FFDO training to another training site that is a four hour drive from anywhere and thousands of miles from the current site, thus uprooting instructors if they choose to move and needing to hire others if they do not. They are also behindýagainýin selecting and procuring equipment for a scheduled July class. Here we are nearly two years after 9/11, and the TSA has only armed forty four pilots nationwide. If that doesnýt anger you, better check your pulse. |
