AOPA President Phil Boyer On Mineta, Blakey... And More
Transportation Secretary
Norm Mineta leaves office on Friday... and at this point, we still
don't know who the Bush Administration wants to replace him. Could
it be FAA Administrator Marion Blakey? In any case.... what changes
are in store for the DOT and the FAA?
ANN put these questions -- and many more -- to Boyer in a recent
interview... and believe us, his candid answers make for some
fascinating listening. We began our wide-ranging conversation with
Phil's thoughts on Mineta himself... a guy Phil's known for the
better part of 15 years.
And, as we alluded to Friday...
Boyer also has some very interesting insight into the latest
development in the fight over user fees.
This feature is in addition to our daily news briefing --
available in either a quick "Touch And Go" format or an expanded
Aero-Briefing.

ANN Special Feature -- Mineta, Blakey,
And User Fees: 07.03.06 (ANN Special Feature, with

Our DAILY programs consist of (at least) three separate
products.
- ANN's Daily 'Touch & Go' Aero-Cast: A
quick look at the most recent news of the day... short, succinct
and to the point. The usual 'Touch & Go' takes but a few
minutes and is a summary, only, of the day's events... and it only
takes a few minutes of your time.
- ANN's Daily Briefing Aero-Cast: The Daily
ANN Report (ANNRep for short), is a more comprehensive look at the
day's news. We give you the whole buzz... the news and features
that occupy the forefront of aviation news as well as solid
background on the subjects that aviators and other aviation
professionals need to stay informed on.
- ANN's Daily 'ASR' Feature Aero-Cast: Our
daily 'Aero-News Special Report' involves a more in-depth view of a
story or two that dominated (or will be dominating) the day's news.
Far more detailed than any single story in our standard ANN Daily
Reports, this is a solid chance to get a close look at the stories
and topics that matter. ASR features may include exclusive
interviews with Aviation's Newsmakers, ANN's Special Investigative
reports and solid analysis of the stories that will have undeniable
impact on the world of aviation and aerospace.
Check them out, let us know what you think and be sure to
keep those news-tips and program suggestions coming... ANN is ALL
about what YOU want to know about in the world of aviation and
aerospace.
