FAA's Babbitt Resigns After DWI Arrest
FAA's Babbitt Resigns After DWI Arrest
FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt's has resigned in the wake of his arrest Saturday for allegedly driving while intoxicated in Northern Virginia outside Washington. The Associated Press reported that Babbitt said in a statement yesterday that he didn't want to allow anything to "cast a shadow" on the work done by his colleagues at the FAA.
In a statement last night, Babbitt said, "Today I submitted my resignation to Secretary Ray LaHood and it has been accepted. Serving as FAA Administrator has been an absolute honor and the highlight of my professional career. But I am unwilling to let anything cast a shadow on the outstanding work done 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by my colleagues at the FAA. They run the finest and safest aviation system in the world and I am grateful that I had the opportunity to work alongside them. I am confident in their ability to successfully carry out all of the critical safety initiatives underway and the improvements that the FAA has planned. I also want to thank Secretary LaHood for his leadership and dedication to the safety of the traveling public."
Deputy Administrator Michael Huerta will serve as acting administrator, DOT said.
The department reportedly learned of Babbitt's arrest Monday afternoon. In a mid-afternoon White House press conference, spokesman Jay Carney said President Barack Obama also had just learned of the arrest.
Babbitt was arrested in Fairfax, Va., after city police saw Babbitt driving on the wrong side of the road in the 3900 block of Old Lee Highway, says Sgt. Joe Johnson, City of Fairfax Police public information officer. Babbitt was not involved in an accident. The city of Fairfax, does not release blood alcohol levels.
Babbitt was released on personal recognizance and faces a court date. The Washington Post reports Babbitt's court date could be Feb. 2, although Johnson did not confirm this.
Former NTSB Chairman Robert Francis told the Wall Street Journal yesterday, that although Babbitt was the most qualified FAA head he had seen in 40 years, "I don't think there is a 2% chance he will stay."
The AOPA web site contains a full discussion of the implications and repercussions of substance abuse for pilots - including alcohol-related driving incidents.
Même pas pour pilotage en état d'ivresse...
D'accord c'est pas bien mais à ce tarif là y aurait pas grand monde qui conserverait son poste longtemps chez nous...
Ca ne rigole pas...
