Default Bush wants to close FAA facilities like the base closure initiative from the Reagan era...

See: http://tinyurl.com/32xsat

or:
http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/gener...des%20Closures

"The FAA reauthorization legislation sent to Congress this month calls for establishment of a commission to recommend
the closing or consolidation of certain FAA facilities, similar in structure and mission to the Base Realignment and
Closure (BRAC) organization that was used to shutter scores of Defense Department installations."


One problem with this whole concept is that we need to keep these facilities open and viable. This is not like the
downsizing after the Cold War where we had all sorts of excess capacity. The nonsense coming out of this administration
astounds me!
