Air taxi vs. Charter or Part 135

I was flying as a student pilot during that period, and what I remember most was that all of the controllers who were inpatient and abrasive suddenly vanished and that all of the controllers who were friendly and helpfull were still present.

The replacements were much better. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN mschnerdatcarolina.rr.com

PATCO screwed the controllers by lying about the strike vote. As with most labor battles, there's plenty of fault to be found on both sides. Don't get me started on Eastern.

Reagan gave the controllers several options to go back to
work, PATCO really did screw their members.
