I understood it means the controllers are contracted out, they are not
government employees. A private firm wins a contract to man these towers,
and the firm then provides the controllers. Also it is a step forward to
privatize the air traffic control system, which will more than likely result
in user fee's for briefings etc. Of course I could be wrong and that would
be OK.

does that mean
to us pilots?

...without a clue
