Think of it this way, if a private company does a bad job, you fire
them
and
get a company that will do the job. If the government does a bad
job,
you
get to listen to senators try to justify spending more money and
raising
taxes while the problem never gets fixed.


Is ATC doing a bad job?

The same people running ATC are running the security apparatus.


Human directed ATC can't compete with automation from a probabilities,
or
capacity, standpoint. Besides that Steve, he is refering to firing
Contractors. Eventually less people will be needed to control the sky
and
Contractors are a lot easier to get rid of than Civil Service.

Problem there is contractors have little incentive to do well UNLESS there
are long-term probabilities.

The incintive is getting paid. Any changover will take years to complete
and in the interum there is enough incintive to do a tedious boring job, for
a few years. Besides that, events could lead to contractors being
Federalized.
