Concerns continue to be raised over a White House proposal for a privatized ATC system

Concerns continue to be raised over a White House proposal for a privatized ATC system. In a joint letter published in The Washington Post, Reps. Peter DeFazio (D-4-OR) and Rick Larsen (D-2-WA) cited "very real concerns" over a privatized ATC network, and discussed these concerns in a recent letter to The Wall Street Journal. In a separate commentary to The Orlando Sentinel, former congressman Alan Grayson emphasized that the government's authority over the ATC system is paramount to other interests. https://www.nbaa.org/advocacy/issues/modernization/20170424-congressmen-challenge-claims-in-pro-atc-newspaper-editorials.php
