From time to time, you run across stories that directly involve your future. In the next few weeks I would make it a priority to get this feed as we continue to see many changes in our organization. The interviewer, Mr. Jerry Lavey has been around for a long time and speaks in our terms. Enjoy this webcast and others that have been archived here from our friends at Focus FAA.

2/2/09:

ATO Chief Operating Officer Hank Krakowski met with Focus FAA’s Jerry Lavey concerning a variety of topics that you will find interesting. Krakowski provided insight into one of our agency’s top priorities, the resolution of conflict with our unions. Other topics included the agency’s release from the GAO’s (Government Accounting Office) high-risk list for modernization, and the possibility of a new FAM (cockpit familiarization training) program for Air Traffic Controllers.
