THE CASE FOR FAA HEAD STURGELL'S INDICTMENT

Tuesday, November 10, 2009

35 UNITED STATES SENATORS ARE ABOUT TO BLOW YOUR $35 BILLION DOLLARS ON A FEDERAL AGENCY "RUN" BY A DROP-OUT

Right now, as I write you this communication, FAA in-house lawyers are scrambling to try to find the most opaque way possible to buy their boss J. Randall (Randy) Babbitt a college degree - before the entire world figures out that the profligate son about to inherit THIRTY-FIVE BILLION OF YOUR DOLLARS (US$35,000,000,000) IN THE FOOLISH FAA REAUTHORIZATION BILL, ACTUALLY DROPPED OUT OF COLLEGE!

THAT'S LIKE HANDING YOUR LIFE-SAVINGS TO GOMER PYLE'S "GOOBER", IN A SACK!

When you read the “.pdf’s” below, please keep in mind that each of the Thirty-Five (35) United States Senators therein identified have now signed the below-depicted November 5, 2009 letter indicating that they may be willing to spend at least Thirty-Five BILLION Dollars (US$35,000,000,000) Of YOUR money, and perhaps even more:
http://transportation.nationaljournal.com/2009/07/what-does-the-senate-commerce.php
at an alternate figure earlier and otherwise assessed as twice that, or SEVENTY BILLION DOLLARS (US$70,000,000,000)!:

http://m.commercialappeal.com/news/2009/may/22/house-bill-seems-to-target-fedex/

… on none other than a failed federal agency known as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) - “run” by a college drop-out hack named J. Randall (Randy) Babbitt, the so-called FAA “Administrator”.

Randy Babbitt would have difficulty "administrating" a carnival go-cart race.

Meanwhile, the Randy Babbitt FAA initial tests of his NextGen/NextCrash system, are about as successful as Costner's "Waterworld" or Beatty's "Ishtar". Randy Babbitt wants to waste YOUR 35 BILLION DOLLARS on failed software that will get people killed:

http://www.daylife.com/article/08vrdNQ8fQbEC

And meanwhile, planes crash, innocent people die, the overwhlemed NTSB stops even counting the aviation carnage, and Randy Babbitt blames everyone but himself:

That's the FAA way. The Tombstone Agency way. That's where YOUR money has been going. Welcome to the Babbitt Abattoir.

Your next THIRTY-FIVE BILLION DOLLARS (US$35,000,000,000) is about to squandered on an over-acted aero-publicist bubble - an illusory FAA hoax known as “NextGen”, along with its malicious inbred recessive-alleled cousin known as “NY/NJ/PHL Airspace Redesign”.

No matter what, Quiet Rockland will defeat the NY/NJ/PHL Airspace Redesign. Whatever it takes. But we now need your help to make sure that YOU don't get ripped-off by FAA goons acting under color of right. We need you to shut down FAA Reauthorization, shut down Randy Babbitt's NextGen a/k/a DeathGen, and shut down the harmful and inhuman Airspace Redesign permanently.

The GAO (Government Accountability Office) just exposed in writing how FAA has already blown your money on high-risk projects which are heavily predicated on fiction, and little-if-anything on fact:

http://www.oig.dot.gov/StreamFile?file=/data/pdfdocs/NextGen_RTCA_Testimony_Final_10-28-09.pdf

FAA "officials" simply seek to pad their own pockets and pensions, and the pockets and pensions of government contractors, airlines, and other aeromercantilists – all at YOUR expense. This is the “cozy relationship” between the so-called “regulator”, FAA - and the “regulated”, the airlines and manufacturers. The revolving door. E.g.:
http://removesturgell.blogspot.com/2009/11/megan-rae-rosia-sings-ten-cents-dance.html

Quiet Rockland is heartsick that many of our friends in the United States Senate, those very same brave souls who joined us in our successful fight last year to eject failed former Acting Administrator of the FAA Robert Allan (Bobby) Sturgell from office – such as Senators Lautenberg, Menendez, McCaskill, and Boxer - have now signed a letter purporting to give blank-check financing of at least 35 BILLION DOLLARS (US$35,000,000,000) to the same aero-revolving-door federal agency that these self-same Senators so forcefully decried and fought in the past. I've told these people before that they are my heroes. What do I tell them now?

And, why the tectonic-plate shift in Washington? Good question. We are going to first check which states have received new commitments for new control towers, runways, or other ATC facilities this past month.

Then, we’ll talk.

Meanwhile, at tonight’s count:
1. Airplanes and those persons and airlines that drive them, continue to fly and crash out-of-control and unchecked by the Randy Babbitt Tombstone Agency FAA:

5. And now, it’s apparently in vogue to give pilots a NAP, and a BLANKIE, during long flights! – rather than give them more time-off between flights, or put a third pilot on duty in the cockpit for long flights.

What's next? Will Randy Babbitt ask us to pay for their flying hot-tubs and rubber duckies?:

You've met the college drop-out rope-a-dopist inheriting your money.

Now, below, meet your Thirty-Five (35) United States Senators who just signed the below-depicted 4-page letter supporting FAA Reauthorization to give him the sack full of cash.

Never mind contacting Babbitt. He'll be guffawing like Mr. Ed for the next week. But write these Senators. Phone them. E-mail them. Fax them. Tell them to RECANT THEIR SIGNATURE ON THE NOVEMBER 5 LETTER. TELL THEM TO REJECT REAUTHORIZATION AND ILL-CONCEIVED FINANCING OF THE FAILED FAA.

Tell them that all your money just got spent on health care.

Tell them that all your money just got spent on the “Stimulus” and bonuses for the guys on Wall Street.

Tell them that they need to conserve all your money in case someone spends it on Afghanistan next month.

Tell these 35 United States Senators that you REFUSE to allow YOUR THIRTY-FIVE BILLION DOLLARS (US$35,000,000,000) to be squandered on FAA, a failed federal agency run by a college drop-out named J. Randall (Randy) Babbitt.

Thank you for your attention to YOUR matter.

Finally, I want you to please very carefully focus on how ALL of these Thirty-Five (35) Senators signed their name to this letter, in cursive script typeface – and then focus on how NONE of the signature lines bear any type-written text actually legibly identifying who these Senators are.

SOME signatures, like Lieberman’s and Inhofe’s, actually required me to find other exemplar-samples of their handwriting for analysis and confirmation.

But guess what? I now figured out who all 35 Senatorial Signatories are.

And now, I give you – THE THIRTY-FIVE (35) SENATORS WHO ARE ABOUT TO BLOW YOUR THIRTY-FIVE BILLION DOLLARS (US$35,000,000,000) ON COLLEGE DROP-OUT RANDY BABBITT AND FAA REAUTHORIZATION.

I want you to please contact every single one of them, and tell them why ill-advised FAA Reauthorization would be totally wrong for America and Americans.

Tell these United States Senators to each retract their respective signatures on the November 5 letter, and vote NO on FAA Reauthorization.

I’d otherwise like to take this opportunity to say, “Forgive them, Lord, for they know not what they are doing”. But these people know EXACTLY what they are doing.

Call, them, write them – and tell them to STOP FAA REAUTHORIZATION.

They apparently wouldn't print their names on this letter to accompany their signatures.

But I have now done it for them:

Honorable United States Senator Charles E. (Chuck) Schumer (NY)
United States Senate Committee on Finance
SH-313 Hart Senate Office Building
United States Senate, United States Capitol
Washington, D.C. 20510-3201 USA

Dear Honorable Senator Schumer:

Today I ask you to please vote “NO” on the current FAA Reauthorization Act (“Bill”). This letter is written to you on behalf of all Quiet Rockland members, in solidarity with 47,000 residents of Orangetown NY, 300,000 residents of Rockland County NY, and over 30,000,000 Americans adversely affected by the FAA’s ill-conceived proposed “NY/NJ/PHL Airspace Redesign”. Quiet Rockland opposes all sought fast-tracking and blank-check-financing of FAA mismanagement. We oppose the lobbyist aero-enablers who have come to expect unchecked profligate aviation spending to feather their own respective nests. We have no objection to bona fide technological improvements enhancing aviation safety. We fully support the NATCA refusal to ever again accept FAA-imposed “work rules” during any future collective bargaining impasse. But we categorically repudiate unchecked repeated cash infusions to a Tombstone Agency that currently acts like they don’t care if we live or die. Please say “NO” to FAA Reauthorization, Senator.

Quiet Rockland is a non-partisan group. We do not support, and we REJECT, the FAA Reauthorization Act as written. Any misguided “Yes” vote for this Bill as currently-constituted, will threaten to render Congress powerless over current and future FAA malfeasance and economic waste. The bad far outweighs the good in this Reauthorization Bill. I respectfully request that you as a Senator-Member of the Senate Finance Committee please closely examine the two (2) Government Accountability Office (GAO) Reports on FAA and ARC. I ask that you do so before even considering any support of planned massive funding increases. Current monies should not be spent on inchoate-illusory NextGen. Current monies should not be spent on NextGen’s artificially-linked fatally-flawed component, the harmful FAA-proposed NY/NJ/PHL Airspace Redesign. FAA continues to fail royally on these and its other initiatives, according to the new GAO audit and testimony and other available statistics and data:

http://www.oig.dot.gov/StreamFile?file=/data/pdfdocs/NextGen_RTCA_Testimony_Final_10-28-09.pdf

The above-linked GAO Reports serve as constructive notice to each of us as Americans of the bungled methodology of FAA’s multi-billion-dollar “projects”. At minimum, Congress must impose crafted amendments to the Bill preventing any recurrence of this now-documented gross FAA waste and mismanagement of the people’s money. FAA must address and fix its own bizarre entropic systems before obtaining any funding - much less anything resembling a blank-check from the Senate Finance Committee.

FAA needs to be given a time-out, and then a massive do-over. FAA cannot be allowed to continue operate multi-billion-dollar “projects” without cost-benefit analysis, risk analysis, benchmarks, or any other meaningful accountability to citizens. That is NO WAY to run a federal agency integral to our economy much less responsible for aviation safety and the lives of innocent Americans. I trust that you agree, Senator.

It is imperative to the well-being of Americans that your United States Senate Committee On Finance vocally and forcefully votes a decisive thumbs-down “NO” in opposition to the current FAA Reauthorization Bill. Thank you for your time and consideration, as always.

Respectfully,

John J. Tormey III, Esq.

Today I ask you to please vote “NO” on the current FAA Reauthorization Act (“Bill”). This letter is written to you on behalf of all Quiet Rockland members, in solidarity with 47,000 residents of Orangetown NY, 300,000 residents of Rockland County NY, and over 30,000,000 Americans adversely affected by the FAA’s ill-conceived proposed “NY/NJ/PHL Airspace Redesign”. Quiet Rockland opposes all sought fast-tracking and blank-check-financing of FAA mismanagement. We oppose the lobbyist aero-enablers who have come to expect unchecked profligate aviation spending to feather their own respective nests. We have no objection to bona fide technological improvements enhancing aviation safety. We fully support the NATCA refusal to ever again accept FAA-imposed “work rules” during any future collective bargaining impasse. But we categorically repudiate unchecked repeated cash infusions to a Tombstone Agency that currently acts like they don’t care if we live or die. Please say “NO” to FAA Reauthorization, Senator.

Quiet Rockland is a non-partisan group. We do not support, and we REJECT, the FAA Reauthorization Act as written. Any misguided “Yes” vote for this Bill as currently-constituted, will threaten to render Congress powerless over current and future FAA malfeasance and economic waste. The bad far outweighs the good in this Reauthorization Bill. I respectfully request that you as a Senator-Member of the Senate Finance Committee please closely examine the two (2) Government Accountability Office (GAO) Reports on FAA and ARC. I ask that you do so before even considering any support of planned massive funding increases. Current monies should not be spent on inchoate-illusory NextGen. Current monies should not be spent on NextGen’s artificially-linked fatally-flawed component, the harmful FAA-proposed NY/NJ/PHL Airspace Redesign. FAA continues to fail royally on these and its other initiatives, according to the new GAO audit and testimony and other available statistics and data:

http://www.oig.dot.gov/StreamFile?file=/data/pdfdocs/NextGen_RTCA_Testimony_Final_10-28-09.pdf

The above-linked GAO Reports serve as constructive notice to each of us as Americans of the bungled methodology of FAA’s multi-billion-dollar “projects”. At minimum, Congress must impose crafted amendments to the Bill preventing any recurrence of this now-documented gross FAA waste and mismanagement of the people’s money. FAA must address and fix its own bizarre entropic systems before obtaining any funding - much less anything resembling a blank-check from the Senate Finance Committee.

FAA needs to be given a time-out, and then a massive do-over. FAA cannot be allowed to continue operate multi-billion-dollar “projects” without cost-benefit analysis, risk analysis, benchmarks, or any other meaningful accountability to citizens. That is NO WAY to run a federal agency integral to our economy much less responsible for aviation safety and the lives of innocent Americans. I trust that you agree, Senator.

It is imperative to the well-being of Americans that your United States Senate Committee On Finance vocally and forcefully votes a decisive thumbs-down “NO” in opposition to the current FAA Reauthorization Bill.

Thank you for your time and consideration, as always.

Respectfully,

John J. Tormey III, Esq.

United States Senate Committee on Finance
223 Dirksen Senate Office Building
The United States Senate, The United States Capitol
Washington, DC 20510-3703 USA

Dear Honorable Senator Wyden:

Today I ask you to please vote “NO” on the current FAA Reauthorization Act (“Bill”). This letter is written to you on behalf of all Quiet Rockland members, in solidarity with 47,000 residents of Orangetown NY, 300,000 residents of Rockland County NY, and over 30,000,000 Americans adversely affected by the FAA’s ill-conceived proposed “NY/NJ/PHL Airspace Redesign”. Quiet Rockland opposes all sought fast-tracking and blank-check-financing of FAA mismanagement. We oppose the lobbyist aero-enablers who have come to expect unchecked profligate aviation spending to feather their own respective nests. We have no objection to bona fide technological improvements enhancing aviation safety. We fully support the NATCA refusal to ever again accept FAA-imposed “work rules” during any future collective bargaining impasse. But we categorically repudiate unchecked repeated cash infusions to a Tombstone Agency that currently acts like they don’t care if we live or die. Please say “NO” to FAA Reauthorization, Senator.

Quiet Rockland is a non-partisan group. We do not support, and we REJECT, the FAA Reauthorization Act as written. Any misguided “Yes” vote for this Bill as currently-constituted, will threaten to render Congress powerless over current and future FAA malfeasance and economic waste. The bad far outweighs the good in this Reauthorization Bill. I respectfully request that you as a Senator-Member of the Senate Finance Committee please closely examine the two (2) Government Accountability Office (GAO) Reports on FAA and ARC. I ask that you do so before even considering any support of planned massive funding increases. Current monies should not be spent on inchoate-illusory NextGen. Current monies should not be spent on NextGen’s artificially-linked fatally-flawed component, the harmful FAA-proposed NY/NJ/PHL Airspace Redesign. FAA continues to fail royally on these and its other initiatives, according to the new GAO audit and testimony and other available statistics and data:

http://www.oig.dot.gov/StreamFile?file=/data/pdfdocs/NextGen_RTCA_Testimony_Final_10-28-09.pdf

The above-linked GAO Reports serve as constructive notice to each of us as Americans of the bungled methodology of FAA’s multi-billion-dollar “projects”. At minimum, Congress must impose crafted amendments to the Bill preventing any recurrence of this now-documented gross FAA waste and mismanagement of the people’s money. FAA must address and fix its own bizarre entropic systems before obtaining any funding - much less anything resembling a blank-check from the Senate Finance Committee.

FAA needs to be given a time-out, and then a massive do-over. FAA cannot be allowed to continue operate multi-billion-dollar “projects” without cost-benefit analysis, risk analysis, benchmarks, or any other meaningful accountability to citizens. That is NO WAY to run a federal agency integral to our economy much less responsible for aviation safety and the lives of innocent Americans. I trust that you agree, Senator.

It is imperative to the well-being of Americans that your United States Senate Committee On Finance vocally and forcefully votes a decisive thumbs-down “NO” in opposition to the current FAA Reauthorization Bill. Thank you for your time and consideration, as always.

Any misguided “Yes” vote for this Bill as currently-constituted, will threaten to render Congress powerless over current and future FAA malfeasance and economic waste. The bad far outweighs the good in this Reauthorization Bill. I respectfully request that you as a Senator-Member of the Senate Finance Committee please closely examine the two (2) Government Accountability Office (GAO) Reports on FAA and ARC. I ask that you do so before even considering any support of planned massive funding increases. Current monies should not be spent on inchoate-illusory NextGen. Current monies should not be spent on NextGen’s artificially-linked fatally-flawed component, the harmful FAA-proposed NY/NJ/PHL Airspace Redesign. FAA continues to fail royally on these and its other initiatives, according to the new GAO audit and testimony and other available statistics and data:

The above-linked GAO Reports serve as constructive notice to each of us as Americans of the bungled methodology of FAA’s multi-billion-dollar “projects”. At minimum, Congress must impose crafted amendments to the Bill preventing any recurrence of this now-documented gross FAA waste and mismanagement of the people’s money. FAA must address and fix its own bizarre entropic systems before obtaining any funding - much less anything resembling a blank-check from the Senate Finance Committee.

FAA needs to be given a time-out, and then a massive do-over. FAA cannot be allowed to continue operate multi-billion-dollar “projects” without cost-benefit analysis, risk analysis, benchmarks, or any other meaningful accountability to citizens. That is NO WAY to run a federal agency integral to our economy much less responsible for aviation safety and the lives of innocent Americans. I trust that you agree, Senator.

It is imperative to the well-being of Americans that your United States Senate Committee On Finance vocally and forcefully votes a decisive thumbs-down “NO” in opposition to the current FAA Reauthorization Bill.

Thank you for your time and consideration, as always.

Dear Honorable Senator Crapo:

Today I ask you to please vote “NO” on the current FAA Reauthorization Act (“Bill”). This letter is written to you on behalf of all Quiet Rockland members, in solidarity with 47,000 residents of Orangetown NY, 300,000 residents of Rockland County NY, and over 30,000,000 Americans adversely affected by the FAA’s ill-conceived proposed “NY/NJ/PHL Airspace Redesign”. Quiet Rockland opposes all sought fast-tracking and blank-check-financing of FAA mismanagement. We oppose the lobbyist aero-enablers who have come to expect unchecked profligate aviation spending to feather their own respective nests. We have no objection to bona fide technological improvements enhancing aviation safety. We fully support the NATCA refusal to ever again accept FAA-imposed “work rules” during any future collective bargaining impasse. But we categorically repudiate unchecked repeated cash infusions to a Tombstone Agency that currently acts like they don’t care if we live or die. Please say “NO” to FAA Reauthorization, Senator.

Airplanes Are Dropping Like FLIES: FAA And NTSB Overwhelmed By The "High Amount Of 'Incidents' That Happened This Weekend"

There have been so many recent airplane crashes under the failed Randy Babbitt FAA "Administration", that the NTSB isn't even sending investigators out to the field anymore!

GREENVILLE, S.C.—A small plane crashed short of the runway at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport Monday morning, had been in for maintenance Monday.

Kathleen Bergen says the FAA is on the scene and has begun their investigation. She says the King Air 200 plane was practicing approaches when it crashed. Bergen say one cause they are looking into is the possibility the plane may have run out of fuel.

Bridget Serchak with the NTSB says when the FAA is ready they will call on the NTSB to conduct a limited investigation into the crash of the plane. She says that should happen Tuesday. With a limited investigation, no investigator will go to the scene; they will gather info from the FAA and other sources and make determination. She says the NTSB investigates about 1600 plane crashes a year, most like Monday’s crash, smaller planes.

SERCHAK SAYS THE NTSB IS ALSO HAMPERED TODAY BY THE HIGH AMOUNT OF INCIDENTS THAT HAPPENED THIS WEEKEND.

A crane and a flatbed truck have arrived at the crash scene to remove the wreckage.

Neal McGrail, Chief Operating Officer of Stevens Aviation, says the plane came into the facility for maintenance. He does not know what type of maintenance.

Two of his employees who are maintenance techs went up with the pilot after the pilot asked the two techs to check out an avionics problem. The techs went up in the plane which McGrail says is standard procedure, “It’s like taking your car to the mechanic and describing the problem”, says McGrail.

“Sometimes they might take the car out on the road to get a better feel for what’s wrong with it. Obviously, if the technicians had believed there was a problem that could have made the plane unsafe to fly, they would not have taken it up. And it is very likely that whatever caused the crash was not the issue which the pilot wanted them to look at”. McGrail says.

GSP spokesperson Rosilyn Weston says there are three injuries.

The hospital tells McGrail the 2 Stevens employees have non-life-threatening injuries.

Ed Wilk – fair condition (12 years with Stevens)

Derrick Holliday – serious but stable (9 years with Stevens)

McGrail says he does not have the authority to release the name of the third person in the crash. His condition is also serious but stable.

McGrail will not say who owns the plane, but does tell WSPA News Channel 7 that the pilot is employed by the plane’s owner.

The Associated Press reports the plane is registered to MDTR Holdings LLC in Virginia Beach, Va. FlightAware.com shows that the plane flew from Norfolk, Va., to Greenville Sunday night.

Highway 14 is now reopened. It was closed near the crash site.

Rosilyn Weston, spokesperson for GSP International, says this is a private plane. The crash was reported at 10:11 a.m. Monday when the plane went down just past Highway 14. GSP International was closed to both incoming and departing flights, but has reopened at just before 11:00 a.m.

MedTrans and Regional One medical helicopters transported the injured to local hospitals for treatment.
