After multiple aviation catastrophes and troubling reports of problems at airports across the country, it’s safe to say that many Americans have been hopeful — if not optimistic — that the Trump administration would install a steady-handed, trustworthy leader at the beleaguered Federal Aviation Administration.

The fact that President Donald Trump has selected an individual for the job who seems to have inflated his credentials doesn’t inspire much confidence.

The Air Current, an aviation outlet, appears to have been first to report on Republic Airways CEO Bryan Bedford’s false portrayal of himself as a commercial pilot, and Politico shined more light on the nominee for FAA chief over the weekend.

Lies, lies, lies! He’ll fit right in at the court of King Donald.

Trump’s pick to lead the FAA has portrayed himself as a certified commercial pilot. He isn’t.

Republic Airways CEO Bryan Bedford’s official biography falsely said he holds a commercial pilot rating, according to reports.
