You will recall that failed FAA Acting Administrator Robert Allan (“Bobby”) Sturgell tried to pull the pin on us Rocklanders before he was summarily chucked out of office in disgrace by the Obama Administration.
And why not? Bobby Sturgell knew that since 2007, no group of citizens lobbied harder or more effectively to get his sorry rogue hillbilly butt ejected from FAA. Thanks to a couple of REAL Senators, Lautenberg and Menendez to the south, the people of Rockland County were successful.How did Bobby try to pull the pin on us? Before he flamed out of office, humiliated and defeated, in December 2008, just in time for Christmas, his FAA issued an edict declaring that Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey and Rockland County NY to the north, would be the first guinea pigs for the illusory NextGen a/k/a ‘NextCrash’ air traffic control system whereby GPS navigation is expected to guide airplanes:

That way, the first few crashes of the NextCrash system, vindictive small-minded DelMarVa Dreck trailer-park Bobby Sturgell would have the satisfaction of knowing that these disasters would happen over the heads and homes of his mortal enemies, the densely-populated in Rockland County, NY and Bergen County, NJ. Bobby’s pattern of pin-pulling on Rockland was documented real-time, to this blog, back in December 2008. The pattern was unmistakable, occurring right at the time that the Obama Administration made the phone call to him telling him it was time for him to stop acting and pretending to be a public official:

The 4,000+ aviation fatalities that occurred on Bobby Sturgell’s watch, helped foster his ejection. Sturgell has no one but himself to blame for his own soullessness and incompetence.
Now comes the Summer of 2009. College Drop-Out J. Randall (“Randy”) Babbitt, is now FAA Administrator.
By now, the Sinclair Lewis bureaucrat has realized what he is in for, when tangling with Rockland County. After all, I told Babbitt in multiple e-mail communications before Randy even took office. And Randy Babbitt saw, real-time, what happened to Bobby Sturgell.
So Randy Babbitt has now decided to put the pin BACK into the proverbial grenade, before it goes off.
No, says the College Dropout Administrator, Newark Airport won’t be the first place where we try out NextGen and use the overflown there as guinea pigs. Rather, we’re going to try out the system in a smaller-market metropolitan area. ‘Off-Broadway’, as it were. Babbitt’s exact words follow:
“Now, I’m not suggesting that we take the most delayed region in the nation and start there, I’d suggested we should open up off-Broadway, if you would, where we understand the technology, deploy it, and once we’re convinced it’s up and running, it comes naturally that people will then want to provide the equipage on their aircraft, and we’ll be able to provide the metering, the spacing, and the reduced separation and higher levels of safety that brings the benefit that we hope we will get from NextGen”.

Well, a few things:
1. College Drop-Out Randy Babbitt wouldn’t grasp the difference between “Broadway” and “Off-Broadway” if you explained it on a Teleprompter or through an earpiece for him, or if you cribbed it on his polyester sleeve.
2. Babbitt’s and FAA’s decision to reverse Sturgell on the NextCrash Guinea Pig pin-pulling, is further proof-positive that yahoo Bobby Sturgell was never fit or qualified to lead that federal agency. Bobby Sturgell should be prosecuted criminally for using FAA power to satisfy his personal hateful agenda.
3. Reversing the NextCrash Guinea Pig pin-pulling, is, like 500 FAA aero-publicists at the bottom of the ocean, a “good start”. Next up, Randy Babbitt needs to reverse the awful and malicious FAA NY/NJ/PHL Airspace Redesign. And if Randy Babbitt does not, Randy Babbitt will end up leaving his office in disgrace just like Bobby Sturgell did.
COUNT on it.
