Washington Withdraws From FAA Nomination
By Russ Niles -Published:March 26, 20239

Phil Washington has withdrawn from the nomination to become the FAA
Administrator, blaming an onslaught of unfounded Republican attacks
concerning his qualifications, his military connections and his link to a
corruption investigation in Los Angeles where he led the citys transit
system. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg confirmed the move, first
reported by Reuters, late Saturday.

The FAA needs a confirmed Administrator, and Phil Washingtons
transportation & military experience made him an excellent nominee,
Buttigieg said in a tweet. The partisan attacks and procedural obstruction
he has faced are undeserved, but I respect his decision to withdraw and am
grateful for his service. During a Senate confirmation hearing, Washington
was grilled by GOP senators on his aviation knowledge and relative lack of
experience in the industry. His status as a retired Army officer was also
raised, as the position must be filled by a civilian.
