As a former vice president of flight operations at Delta Airlines, Steve Dickson is probably used to putting out fires on a daily basis. The Atlanta native and former U.S. Air Force F-15 pilot and Air Force Academy graduate will surely be put to the test soon in front of the Senate when it considers his nomination to lead the troubled FAA. President Donald Trump formally nominated Dickson Tuesday evening to the post. Dickson is well-known as the man at Delta who led that airline’s opposition to separating the air traffic control system from the rest of the FAA.
