oups.com: Jay Honeck wrote: Really? I find it fascinating. Unfortunately, it's the same fascination that won't let you avert your eyes when you're witnessing a train wreck. Controllers, by their actions, have harmed GA's chances of avoiding privatization in ways that no other single action could have accoplished. And we're all going to pay for it. All because they don't want to be "forced" to wear dockers and a nice shirt to work. Why should government employees that aren't even seen by the customer be forced to wear dockers and a nice shirt to work while private sector employees that must interact with customers, like those at the Alexis Park Inn, can dress like bums? Simply because Alexis Park Inn is a private enterprise which is subject to its customers' preferences for its survival. If the customers dislike the dress code at the Inn enough, they will take their business elsewhere. Your position appears to be solely based on your noted dislike of government employees. Government employees are not subject to market forces the way private sector employees are. Customer dissatisfaction with their product does not cause them lose jobs or pay. Therefore, they do not necessarily feel the same pressure to produce goods and services that satisfy their customers. An external device, such as a reasonable dress code, might go a long way towards instituting some of that discipline. The only reason controllers can feel like they can oppose management on every issue is because they think the government monopoly that has provided them with their jobs and pay is forever going to be there.

Avoid class A, B, C, D, & E.... 1 mile clear of clouds Jim I'm well aware of when radio contact with ATC and an IFR flight plan is is necessary, thank you. I simply fail to see how all of the above is not difficult. |

They are wrong. But ATC will always be a monopoly. |

They are wrong. But ATC will always be a monopoly. Just like telecoms, electricity etc, right? How about, renewable franchise licences with 5 year contracts, open bidding competition for the franchise to operate an ATC for said period. Infrastructure and services provided by possibly different firms. Naaah, can't happen.
