NATCA Going Down in Flames

Some will do that. It will be the best and most experienced. Those that
remain will all be wearing pants. Do you think that is a net positive?

This is the same argument that we all tried to use against privatizing
Flight Service.

Surprise! After the dust settled, it turned out that the "most
experienced" briefers -- the ones who retired -- were actually the
deadwood in the organization, and (in the short term, until they start
charging per-call) we're better off with Lockheed-Martins' version of
FSS. Call performance is better, briefers are better trained, with
better equipment, and getting a weather briefing is a more positive
experience for pilots.

There are almost 300 million people in this country. No one is
irreplaceable. No one.

I sure wish you guys would learn that lesson, and keep quiet about this
silly dress code issue. Privatization is NOT going to be good for GA.
