[JYO] FAA apologizes & aircraft relocation to begin Saturday

FAA apologizes for snafu
Says restoring Class B a priority
— FAA Administrator Jane Garvey spoke with AOPA's Phil 
Boyer late Friday afternoon and apologized for the on-again, off-again notams 
covering the New York and Washington, D.C., TFRs, which occurred overnight, 
along with the last-minute change in the relocation schedule. The 
Administrator acknowledged the confusion and the inconvenience the changes 
had caused for pilots, and she knows the work AOPA is putting into informing 
members of FAA notams by special e-Pilot alerts and on the Web site of FAA 
notams.
