for the agency following the fatal crashes of two Boeing 737 MAX passenger jets in Indonesia and Ethiopia, the White House said today.
Dickson would replace acting Administrator Dan Elwell, who has held the top spot for more than a year since the departure of Obama administration appointee Michael Huerta. It was not immediately clear if Elwell will remain in his job as deputy administrator.Dickson spent most of his airline career at Delta Air Lines — one of the few major U.S. carriers that does not fly planes from the 737 MAX line.
Dickson recently retired from Delta, where he was senior vice president of flight operations. Before he was at Delta, Dickson was an Air Force officer. He has experience as both a military and Delta pilot.
