NATCA Going Down in Flames

I think privatization is a bad idea. I think air traffic control is an
inherently government function and it should be performed by the federal
government. But I don't think runway traffic control is. I think control
towers should be operated by whatever entity owns the airport and the
federal government should limit itself to airspace and federally owned
airfields.

You know, it could be that you make more sense on this, than anything you
have ever written, here. ;-)

I agree -- that is an idea that makes a lot of sense. And it's
certainly one I've never seen proposed.

So, Steven, is this something that has been seriously discussed? Or is
this an entirely new idea that you just spawned?

Isn't that what NFCTs are?

It's not being discussed to my knowledge but it's not a new idea. It's the
way things were prior to Pearl Harbor.
