A few weekends ago, the Chattanooga Airport unveiled a 28-million-dollar terminal renovation and expansion.
Among those on hand: Jim Hall, chairman of the Chattanooga Airport Authority Board of Commissioners.
Jim’s decades of experience range from Capitol Hill to Tennessee Governor’s Ned McWherter’s office in Nashville to chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board under President Bill Clinton.
Today, he is principal of his consulting firm, Hall and Associates - and from time to time, he comments on transportation issues, including in an opinion piece for a Seattle newspaper after a panel blew off of an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 soon after takeoff from Portland, Oregon in January.
We spoke with Jim last week, before the resignation of Boeing’s CEO.
