“President Donald Trump’s nominee to head the Federal Aviation Administration long described himself in his official biography as being certified to fly aircraft commercially — but records examined by Politico show that he does not hold any commercial license,” Politico reports.
“Bryan Bedford’s biography at Republic Airways, the regional airline where he has been CEO since 1999, said until Thursday that he ‘holds commercial, multi-engine and instrument ratings.
’ (By Friday, after Politico’s inquiries, the word ‘commercial’ had been removed.) The FAA registry that houses data on pilot’s licenses does not list any such commercial credentials for Bedford.”
