| FAA Names Senior VP to Oversee Modernization Efforts |
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Acting Administrator Robert A. Sturgell has announced the appointment of Vicki Cox as Senior Vice President of NextGen and Operations Planning.
Cox, who previously served as a vice president in the FAA’s Air Traffic Organization, will lead the effort to transform the nation’s airspace system by using 21st century technologies to meet changing aviation demands, known as NextGen. Some of these modernization activities have already begun, including the initial deployment of satellite-based technology, airspace redesign and runway safety improvements.
“Given the aviation community's increasing need for faster modernization of our air traffic control system, we must implement NextGen at a quicker pace,” said Acting FAA Administrator Robert A. Sturgell. “The FAA is putting an emphasis on near- and mid-term implementation, while the Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) continues its focus on long-term research and development, and cross-agency cooperation.”
In addition to providing increased focus on the modernization of the nation's air traffic control system through the NextGen plan, the position will incorporate the JPDO, which helps coordinate the efforts of several federal departments and agencies, including the Departments of Transportation (which includes the FAA), Defense, Commerce and Homeland Security, as well as NASA. The combined JPDO’s long-term planning efforts and the FAA’s short- and mid-term work ensures the FAA’s research, development and testing resources are working together to deliver NextGen technologies faster.

(User Info | Send a Message) | QUIET ROCKLAND LANDS ALL KEY FAA BOBBY STURGELL INTERNET DOMAIN-NAMES
QRNewswire/Rockland County, NY – September 29, 2008:
In a tri-partite deal with a New England-based seller and Herndon, VA Internet domain-name registrar Network Solutions,
http://www.networksolutions.com [www.networksolutions.com]
suburban New York anti-FAA aero-activist group Quiet Rockland today announced its acquisition of the 3 most critical Internet Uniform Resource Locator (URL) domain-names relating to failed FAA Acting Administrator Robert Allan (“Bobby”) Sturgell:
http://www.bobbysturgell.com [www.bobbysturgell.com]
http://www.bobbysturgell.org [www.bobbysturgell.org]
http://www.bobbysturgell.net [www.bobbysturgell.net]
The transaction was handled by Quiet Rockland co-founder John J. Tormey III, Esq., and his law practice, John J. Tormey III, PLLC:
http://www.tormey.org [www.tormey.org]
The arrangement with Network Solutions accords Quiet Rockland the unilateral option of an up-to-100-year extension of each domain-name registration term. Further specifics of the purchase remain undisclosed.
Said Tormey:
“Today Quiet Rockland strikes another blow for justice, fair treatment of air traffic controllers (ATCs), and historical accuracy. In the last year at the helm, Bobby Sturgell ‘piloted’ his Tombstone Agency FAA directly into the ground – abusing his ATC workforce, continually threatening our safety, and putting us Americans all at risk while doing so. We therefore return the courtesy to him and his awful FAA. Quiet Rockland today dedicates these 3 permanent First Amendment-protected electronic-memorial reciprocal-tombstones to Bobby Sturgell’s abysmal, morally-bereft legacy of putting profits over people and failing the American citizenry. Now, election-result irrespective, whether or not Bobby Sturgell follows through on his earlier-stated intention to quit his post by November, each person accessing the Internet worldwide who searches Bobby Sturgell’s name at any time in the next 100 years, will be virtually-certain to take heed of Sturgell’s well-earned agency cyber-posterity heritage of FAAilure. This is Quiet Rockland’s virtual parting gift to Bobby Sturgell.
“Quiet Rockland also intends this action to be a warning to those other aero-head officials, misguided enough to think of threatening our interests in the future. As but one additional example, we expect that FAA NY/NJ/PHL Airspace Redesign Project Manager Steven (Steve) Kelley will now want to carefully review the website at the also-newly-acquired URL
http://www.stevekelleyfaa.com [www.stevekelleyfaa.com]
This site permanently chronicles Steve Kelley’s own role in the 1985 Fairview, NJ aircrash killing 6 people – an event which Steve Kelley himself worked as an ATC. We look forward to exercising our 100-year option on that URL filing as well.
“More communications will follow. Our rock-solid foundational message is clear. Whether a federal official, or anyone else – if you threaten Quiet Rockland’s interests or those of any ATC, expect a response – and expect that response to follow you throughout your career, your life, and perhaps beyond, in, at minimum, electronically-memorialized posterity. We have the resources. We have the technology. And, we have the will. FAA management will be repopulated with responsible personnel. The NY/NJ/PHL Airspace Redesign will be defeated. |
