John Kerry: No ATC Privatization on His Watch

While this AVflash blurb points the way for airmen at the ballot box,
I find it interesting that Kerry has overlooked the fact that it was
Clinton/Gore who initiated the notion ATC privatization.

SUPER TUESDAY PLUS ONE, NATCA BACKS KERRY
Tuesday's primaries put Sen. John Kerry on track to be this year's
Democratic nominee for president, and that is fine with the folks
at the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA). The
union yesterday gave its enthusiastic support to Kerry, after he
courted them with a promise that there would be no ATC
privatization on his watch. "I have been disappointed with the Bush
administration's systematic plans to diminish our air traffic
control system," Kerry wrote to the controllers union. NATCA called
Kerry "the candidate who will ensure that the safety of the flying
public never takes a back seat to political ideology or special
interests." Actually, both Kerry and NATCA had a lot to say.
