Air Safety At Risk By Unqualified FAA Management?
Q: Air Safety at risk by Unqualified FAA Management? In 1837, Danish author, Hans Christian Andersen, wrote a wonderful fairy tale which he titled The Emperor's New Clothes. It may be the very first example of the power of political correctness. It is the story of the Ruler of a distant land who was so enamored of his appearance (FAA MANAGEMENT) and his clothing that he had a different suit for every hour of the day. One day two rogues arrived in town, claiming to be gifted weavers. They convinced the Emperor (ASO FAA Management) that they could weave the most wonderful cloth, which had a magical property. The clothes were only visible to those who were completely pure in heart and spirit. The Emperor (ASO FAA Management) was impressed and ordered the weavers to begin work immediately. The rogues, who had a deep understanding of human nature, began to feign work on empty looms. Minister after minister went to view the new clothes and all came back exhorting the beauty of the cloth on the looms even though none of them could see a thing. Finally a grand procession was planned for the Emperor (ASO FAA Management) to display his new finery. The Emperor went to view his clothes and was shocked to see absolutely nothing, but he pretended to admire the fabulous cloth, inspect the clothes with awe, and, after disrobing, go through the motions of carefully putting on a suit of the new garments. Under a royal canopy the Emperor appeared to the admiring throng of his people - - all of whom cheered and clapped because they all knew the rogue weavers' tale and did not want to be seen as less than pure of heart. But, the bubble burst when an innocent child loudly exclaimed, for the whole kingdom to hear, that the Emperor had nothing on at all. He had no clothes. And now, a good example of the above. http://money.cnn.com/2005/02/09/pf/college/nace_survey/ REAL WORLD Year 2005 Pay Survey Notice in the above link TECHNICAL disciplines like Computer Science and ELECTRONIC Engineering make an average of 15.5 percent MORE compensation than: Civil Engineering Degrees Notice also that Technical disciplines are compensated 25 percent more than: Business Administration Degrees So, why are most of the so called MANAGERS?? in the Southern Region FAA making MORE money with Non-Technical degrees than the people under them with TECHNICAL degrees or training??? Are you Curious??? Maybe a little SOCIAL ENGINEERING at work regardless of TECHNICAL Qualifications in the FAA??? The FAA is a TECHNICAL organization responsible for Air Safety being managed by NON-TECHNICAL UNQUALIFIED no NAS background people under PC and Social Engineering edicts sent down by NON-TECHNICAL FAA Emperors. Safety is a risk. Call your Congressional representative and ask: Why are NON-TECHNICAL people managing TECHNICAL people in the Southern Region FAA? Why do FAA Middle Managers inform their most experienced technical people: "You don't need a Technical background to manage people in a TECHNICAL discipline" (Atlanta SMO Manager quote to a 26 year NAVCOM TID last year) Inquiring minds would like to know how you justify a backwards management and compensation philosophy like the above?? Maybe SOCIAL ENGINEERING supersedes AIR SAFETY
A:- Managers with business degrees *always* make more money than the technical people with advanced technical degrees they manage. It's true in engineering, it's true in computer programming, and frankly I find it neither surprising nor interesting that the same thign happens in the FA
A: - Did you ever read his fairy tale entitled "The Grinding of the Magic Axe"? It's interesting in that it has no end... - his guy is giving anonymous disgruntled employees a bad name. He seems determined to inflict upon this newsgroup the same personality defects that evidently led to his departure from the FAA
