NATCA factually
reports that the Congress is about to authorize ATC privatization by
allowing the FAA to offer 69 FAA air traffic control towers to the
lowest
private sector bidder.

I bid $1 - is that low enough to get them? How about 1c? How about just
giving me the lot.

Surely you mean the highest bidder??????


Err, no. I mean *lowest* bidder. The idea is to save money. The FAA
(and
your taxes) pays for the infrastructure.

No, the idea is to find a way around ATC unions blocking automation.
