AOPA discouraged over Trump's air traffic control proposal
Mark Baker, AOPA president and CEO, spoke out against President Donald Trump's comment Monday that the US air traffic control system is "an ancient, broken, horrible system that doesn't work." Baker argued that while privatization may be an option, other solutions should be evaluated, adding, "As the air traffic debate continues, we are also concerned about the impact of these proposed reforms on general aviation based on what we have seen in other countries."
