Hang on to your hats boys, we are in for a rough ride.

Naw. There's no need to train new ATC personnel for the future.
The resulting shortage of ATC staffing will be used as justification
to enable Boeing to take over ATC operations (can you say 'user fees').
Then US ATC will be based entirely on satellite communications.
Shortly after the next inevitable solar storm, all the airline flights
in the US will fall out of the sky... :-(


ATC could also be done by low-wage H1-B employees. If it is okay for the
high-tech industry then why not for other jobs.

Um, it seems to me that of all the hare-brained ideas started by congressmen
and senators (TFRs, wiener bill, etc - the majority - or all - are from
Democrats...)

Keep your political views to yourself please.

A "nightmare of an administration" was defined by the tyrant democrat Daly
in Chicago. (Aviation-related nightmares of course)

It amazes me that anyone, particularly anyone in the the aviation
community, would continue to support this nightmare of an
administration.

On Nov. 2 let's dump this blackhearted, greedy, pathological liar,
dry-drunk blowmonkey and put a *real* pilot in the White House.

Why is cutting the budget of this can't-get-anything-done-on-time-or-budget
agency a bad idea? (Personally, I'm more in favor of cutting
totally-out-of-control Medicare though)

The articles referenced mention only a proposed budget "cut" for facilities
and maintenance. I am not sure how 12.6% becomes "almost 14%" but I somehow
doubt that the requested budget represents a cut at all. They probably are
only getting a smaller increase than what they asked for.

Budget cuts equal smaller federal government. Sounds like an outstanding
plan. Now if he would cut all federal departments, agencies and welfare
programs 50 percent he could be king for the next 50 years.

I am not running for the Presidency for this year. Quit campaigning for me.
