NATCA represents some of the folks at contract factilities. We don't speak ill of the controllers. What we do speak ill of is the staffing of one controller on duty to save money with no one there to back them up when it gets busy nor to relieve them for breaks and such... There is already a lot of documentation of where contract facilities have come up short due to the lack of staffing. We figure that it will be more of the same when they get to the higher level facilities as well as what Iron City said, we also feel that it is the camel's nose under the tent to contract out all of US ATC...
I could go on and on, but there is going to be some rather interesting reporting going on in the near future as to what the tax payers are really getting with contract towers... I don't think that they are going to be happy with what they find out about corporate ATC... Not that most American's have been happy with a lot of big corporate management to begin with of late...
