Charlotte Douglas International Deputy Director Herbert Judon

Do you know this man?


Well maybe you should.

This is Herbert Judon, Jr, Charlotte Douglas International Airport Deputy Aviation Director. Judon is Jerry Orr's number two who quietly slipped out the back door several times over the last month to travel to Asheville at taxpayer expense.

Reports are the Judon drove a city of Charlotte car and racked up gas bills using a City of Charlotte credit card to meet with Asheville airport officials on more than one occasion.

But he wasn't on vacation rather he was on a quiet and covert fact finding mission to learn how to free CDIA from the City of Charlotte.

No secret that relations between Charlotte's mayor and the airport have become strained. The turf war over the airport police was the last straw and with Kurt Walton's departure Jerry Orr apparently decided he had endured enough.

The CMPD take over of the airport police is a disaster but that is another story for another day, so how did manage to expense his fact finding trips?

Can't wait to hear about CMPD takeover....

I keep hearing that the CMPD Captain screwed up so badly she is forbidden to go back and has once again been exiled to the WC. Is this true?

Not true on previous Captain...she was excellent; however, Jerry and Herbert were intimidated by her and pushed for her removal - all politics on that one...

Absolutely true on previous Captain.....and this is not the first time for her to "underperform".

NOT political, and they were absolutely NOT "intimidated" by her, actually the opposite.

Ha she was a fat slob who thought her job was to guard the Cinnabon shop 23 hours a day.

Hey above, that statement just shows your ignorance and jealously!!! Orr stands to loose thousands if the Charlotte keeps control. Look at valet parking and all the thousands he makes. Oh, wait he has it in his wife's maiden name so it's hush, hush. Sounds like its double dipping to me. As for the CMPD Capt. She was to close to the truth and Orr needed her gone. So above keep sharpening the pencil. You are where you should be!!!

Funny that the focus is being taken away from the real message in this article...wonder who is doing that?

Notice - no one is taking up for Judon or refuting article. It must be true - if not, prove it. All they can do is bring up things to distract readers.

Look, everyone knows about Orr, so is it any surprise that anyone working for him is cutting corners on ethics, too?

Old News, and no one seems to care.

And if the Captain was doing such a bangup job, CMPD and Rodney would not have removed her, they would like nothing better than to "get" Orr.

Parking at the airport has been a complete clusterf*uck for 6 or 7 years.

Get your facts straight! First of all, the Airport does not use tax payer money. All moneys used by the airport is self generated. Secondly, Herbert is a good man. As for Jerry, well that's a hole different story.

Trust me Charlotte taxpayer pay and pay often through higher airfares that simply are passthru fees charged by the airport.

At our expense we pay some of the highest "hub" rates in the nation and with the AMR-USAirways merger that is only going to get worse.

Jerry Orr and his staff may think the airport is self supporting but without Charlotte's taxpayers is would still be a flatroof 4 gate operation on the south side of 5/23

Herbert gives the appearance of a good man - but a professional at playing dumb, scapegoating, and lying. He is a coward who bows away in confrontations, especially confrontations involving calling him out.

The previous Captain is a great person who does her job well. The personal attacks against her began after others realized she was too close to the truth and would stand her ground. The officers there that want to do a good job wanted her to stay. So before you start with your personal attacks you migbt want to ask yourself how Orr has spent monies confiscated by law enforcement. And what about the valet parking? Isn't that a conflict of interest?
