Who stands to gain from ATC privatization? Are there major businesses
that do this now, and others that are quietly preparing to pick up some
fat federal ATC contracts? Do these companies have any connection to
the white house and friends?


It will be sold off to the airlines which makes a lot of sense. Sell a
national asset to companies that are struggling to either avoid or get

out
of bankruptcy. Maybe the White House think that putting ATC into their
balance sheets will give the airlines more strength.



An ATC responsive to common carriers has a very real apeal.


Only if you are a common carrier. A large part of the air traffic isn't
airline.


The system was at capacity about 2 years ago and will be again. Under the
current system small GA will probably be frozen out of some places by 2010.
Automation can be done, but concrete is not green.

New concrete is green.

Hmmm, you think you can sell that idea to the tree huggers?

You don't approve of trees?

Trees are a good thing, do I advocate automation of ATC. The "pour
concrete" advocates also have a point, albeit not politically viable.
