This article needs a lot of work - ATTENTION from the Politics team leaders, please
Washington’s political profile is climbing swiftly – no pun intended re his pending air travel role. Schumer just announced that he is going to push the FAA nomination through, so there will be a quick significant increase in readership. Given the FAA safety-computer failure and the 17,000 Southwest storm cancellations, this is an extremely important nomination for the Biden administration now. (The fight in the Senate will be brutal, I predict.) I’m only a copy editor, with very limited bandwidth for WP efforts. I just added a Description and corrected his career characterization in the Intro, but don’t have the capacity to do much more right now. A very good FIRST step for someone who knows how to do it, which I don’t, would be to correct the article title to use his proper first name and set up a redirect on “Phil.” There will be dozens of RS articles about him very quickly now.

:I see that about some of sources use "Phil Washington" ([https://www.axios.com/local/denver/2023/02/16/phil-washington-discrimination-lawsuit-faa-denver-airport Axios], [https://www.politico.com/news/2023/03/01/ted-cruz-faa-nominee-00084976 Politico], [https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/3879385-republicans-vow-to-block-biden-faa-pick-as-democrats-double-down/ The Hill], [https://about.bgov.com/news/bidens-faa-pick-denies-wrongdoing-as-senators-weigh-allegations/ Bloomberg]) and other use "Phillip A. Washington" ([https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/01/us/politics/phil-washington-faa-nominee.html NY Times], [https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/25/politics/faa-nominee-phil-washington-withdrawing CNN], [https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/nation/story/2023-03-22/vote-on-bidens-pick-to-run-faa-delayed-amid-gop-opposition San Diego Tribune]), but from what I see a little bit more use "Phil Washington". The [https://www.commerce.senate.gov/2023/3/phil-washington-earns-seal-of-approval-from-america-s-aviation-workers Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee] used "Phil Washington" in their press releases. reppoptalk 07:28, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
