which makes it non responsive to general aviation?

Nope, but privatization is about money and jobs.

a very bad deal..

GA gets a big slab of pork right up front.

ATC clearances go on the auction block... how bad do you really need to
go..

That is where we are headed without a change.

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.
