    Trump’s FAA pick has claimed ‘commercial’ pilot license he doesn’t have
    www.politico.com
    Bryan Bedford, the nominee to head the Federal Aviation Administration, for years erroneously stated in his Republic Airways bio that he is a pilot with a “commercial” rating.

      I mean, I’m pretty sure you can fly at night using VFR. I’m not sure why they made that comment about night flying and IFR. It’s probably better practice to file IFR, but it’s not required.

      But yes, I only found one Bryan Bedford and there is no commercial cert.

          Reading this story, knowing almost nothing about this guy, it sounds like he went and got his license just to try to put the screws to actual pilots, maybe pilots in a union?

          And then he lied about the level of licensure he obtained?

          This is classic business person shit and any pilot, it seems to me, should be fucking worried that a guy like that would be running the FAA.

          At least, that’s my non-pilot layman’s take. Am I way off?
