Drauk,
President Bush and the FAA Administrator are trying to get the US Congress and Senate to allow them to contract out (to the lowest bidder) the Air Traffic System here in the United States.
NATCA, PASS, NATS, and various pilot organizations are working hard to lobby our elected representatives to prevent the sell off of the US air traffic control system, so far we have won a few major battles, but the war isn't over.
Once we get the NATCAnet web site (
http://www.natca.org )back up (about another week) you will be able to read about NATCA's efforts to prevent the sell of of the air traffic system.
