F.A.A. has ducked its responsibilities and authority by approving these
"CONTRACT TOWERS" programs, actually since the P.A.T.C.O. Strike of 1981. There is NO-ONE else in the U.S.A. that has been charged with the Promotion and Regulation of AVIATION activities in this Country, other than the F.A.A. Strange as it seems, a double edged sword. You have the FEDS on one hand declining to provide Air Traffic Control Services if they have to BUILD and SUPPORT the appropriate ATC facilities, so they tell those airports that NEED these services to BUILD the facilities and they will provide the services OR they simply do not provide ANY ATC services at all !!! I wonder how things will be when we have to "PAY AS YOU GO" for ATC SERVICES and the F.A.A. is sitting in their Kingdom waving the Sword ? REGARDS, Mark A.
