privatisation has it's downside, the way I look at it though, it's the only way the US will be able to update it's equipment and staff it's centres
Except that iy doesn't work that way.
The myth that a privatised ATC provider will invest where government can't or won't is oft quoted by those in favour of this ludicrous idea.
Just like any other private company, they will invest the LEAST for the BIGGEST return. A private company has a responsibilty to it's shareholders, and first and foremost, it is to MAXIMISE profit for the least investment.
