ALJs are executive branch employees but functional much like a traditional judge, However, they are appointed by the FAA,
The parties do get to do some discovery which will take at least 5-6 months, so sit back and relax. If the ALJ feels the need for a hearing after the depositions, interrogatories, admissions and other evidence is submitted, it will be scheduled and open to the public.
