DICKSON PICKED: Nearly 15 months after the FAA’s last permanent administrator departed, Trump nominated Steve Dickson, a former Delta Air Lines executive, to replace him. The nomination comes at a time of crisis for the agency, which is under scrutiny for its work on the Boeing 737 MAX, the aircraft involved in two recent deadly crashes. Rumors had been swirling for weeks that Dickson would be Trump’s pick — although the president originally wanted his longtime personal pilot, John Dunkin, to take the spot.
