ATC-Ring;
I could go on and on about the con's, and may find one or two pros about private ATC... However, for a good run down on what we have found, you can get in touch with the National Air Traffic Controllers Association in Washington DC. and I am sure that someone would talk with you about it. You can find phone numbers, e-mail addresses and regular mail addresses at
www.natca.org

PS. After a LOT of lobbying it appears that we won a very important vote in the Senate today which calls for ATC remaining in govt. control. The House has already passed similar legislation and now the two houses must get together and craft language that they both can agree on. It will then go to the president who may or may not sign it.
