If you had a very valuable package that just had to get there, would you take it to the post office or to Fed Ex? Depends on how big a hurry I'm in. I've found the USPS as reliable as either Fed Ex or UPS, just slower ... but much cheaper. I don't doubt that a private ATC would be more efficient, but it wouldn't matter as none of us could afford to fly privately any longer. When you go through airport security, would you feel safer in Boston (where the screeners are federal employees) or in Haifa (where they are private)? Haifa, but not because they are private, because they have LOTS more experience. Matt |

That all depends on if you want there to be an aircraft manufacturing, or support, infrastructure in the US. |

(ie jobs) The same reason the phone companies were twenty years late installing automatic switching equipment in the 50's and 60's. (The Communications Unions were damn strong....then). |
