NATCA Going Down in Flames

Why don't you answer my questions?

Because after several years of on-line sparring with you, Steven, I've
learned that your method of debate is to simply keep asking questions
until the original point is lost. It's counter-productive and results
in uncontrolled thread-drift.

If it improved FSS why wouldn't it improve ATC?

I firmly believe that privatization WOULD make ATC better.

Why?

Because competitition always improves performance. If you (as an
employee) know that you can be replaced tomorrow by someone younger,
stronger, smarter, and cheaper, you will work just *that* much harder
to be a great controller. If, on the other hand, you think you're
invulnerable to discipline by management because of work rules, union
contracts, etc., a major incentive to "go the extra mile" is gone.

It's the primary reason communism fails as an economic system. Thus,
privatizing ATC would inevitably improve it.

But that is certainly NOT going to help GA.


Why not? How could an improved ATC not benefit all users?

I don't care about *all* users. GA doesn't *need* improved ATC, and
therefore shouldn't be made to pay for it.
