White House drops former Delta pilot as aviation nominee
The Air Line Pilots Association criticised Jeffrey Anderson’s nomination, saying he was unqualified to serve as ambassador.
The Trump administration's nomination of Jeffrey Anderson for the position of US ambassador to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) was withdrawn on Thursday, following opposition from the Air Line Pilots Association. The pilot, who had never received a confirmation hearing, supported raising the mandatory airline pilot retirement age to 67 from 65.
However, the union criticized Anderson's nomination, deeming him unqualified for the role. The ICAO, a UN-backed body that sets aviation standards, has been vacant since July 2022.
