With User Fee's and the right arrangement (significantly different than we
have now), we have much more control over the next generations ATC system

How do you figure? With airlines at the helm and GA paying the bill,
what control do you figure we have?

Not only that, as currently envisioned, aviation user fees will remove
congressional oversight of the FAA ATC budget! Aviation user fees are
clearly another special interest boondoggle to hijack an inherently
governmental function for private control and profit, IMO.
