programs.
"In my short time at the agency, I have learned to value
Louise’s solid advice and recommendations on many important
aviation issues," said Blakey. "Her distinguished service in
government and wealth of knowledge on a wide variety of aviation
issues will be a valuable resource to the agency."
Since August 2003, Maillett served as FAA’s acting
