Who stands to gain from ATC privatization? Are there major

businesses


that do this now, and others that are quietly preparing to pick up

some


fat federal ATC contracts? Do these companies have any connection

to


the white house and friends?


It will be sold off to the airlines which makes a lot of sense. Sell

a
national asset to companies that are struggling to either avoid or

get

out


of bankruptcy. Maybe the White House think that putting ATC into

their
balance sheets will give the airlines more strength.

An ATC responsive to common carriers has a very real apeal.

and to hell with GA too!


GA would not only get superior service, but $100,000,000 in the

aviation
budget.


Can you name one country with private ATC where this is true?


These United States is where the money is offered and GA is valued.


Commercial aviation has far more money to spend than any GA operation
short of the Fortune 500 corporations. I agree that those with the
dough will get the service, but it won't be us who fly anything less
than 12,500 lbs.


I believe small GA has value in R&D and maintaining Americans right to
travel. Without a change, what you can expect is for small GA to be frozen
out of some airports/regions.
