Obama looks at aviation notables for transition team

Some notable names with ties to the aviation industry are being considered for high-level positions in Obama’s administration, according to Aero-News.

At the top of the list is reportedly former FAA administrator Jane Garvey, who oversaw the agency during Sept. 11 crisis. Garvey resigned from Bombardier’s board of directors last week and was named to Obama’s transition team, the report said.

Another name rumored to be a strong candidate for FAA administrator is Duane Woerth, former president of Air Line Pilots Association and pilot at Northwest Airlines.
