Sources: Trump Set to Name Former Delta Executive to Head FAA
President Donald Trump is expected to nominate former Delta Air Lines executive Steve Dickson to head the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as early as Tuesday, two people briefed on the matter said.
Reuters reported on March 8 that President Trump was expected to soon nominate Dickson, who retired after 27 years at Delta in October as senior vice president of global flight operations, to run the 45,000-employee agency that oversees U.S. airspace.
