Cognitive Dissonance
AOPA president Phil Boyer doesn’t think much of the FAA’s ability to provide Flight Services. As he says here, “...the FAA was unable to effectively modernize the current system…”. In essence, the FAA could do little, if anything, right. This sentiment is repeated in many AOPA articles. In many ways he is quite correct.
The FAA is now painting a verbal picture of the FSS contract for Mr. Boyer that he can’t seem to praise enough. If he has expressed any reservations about the upcoming changes to Flight Service we have yet to read about it.
To Mr. Boyer’s thinking, the FAA can’t run Flight Service to save its life but they will be flawless when it comes to making sure someone completely inexperienced in the field will do things properly.
