Rolling Stone: Trump’s FAA Nominee Lied About Having a ‘Commercial’ Pilot License

Bryan Bedford, Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), has misled the public, claiming to have a “commercial” pilot license that he does not hold, Politico reported.

Bedford, who serves as president and CEO of Republic Airways, was listed on the airline’s website as holding “commercial, multi-engine and instrument pilot ratings” as recently as Thursday, according to Politico. But after the outlet inquired about Bedford’s credentials, the airline removed “commercial” from the webpage on Friday, the publication reported.
