ATC doesn't make a call on the equipment. Harddrinking, fast living group of people.....are you serious!? He should be sued for slander!
I bet he'd love to head a project like privatization. The antiquated equipment helps us maintain high salaries and "good jobs",so better equipment would leave us with bad jobs and lower salaries? Talk about the FAA spending 5 million on a party and how they saved money like that to waste by freezing controller pay and cutting it by over 30% for new hires.
George Donahue is a hack. He's apparently the only guy that Fox could find that would both slam the FAA for the party while also pushing the pro-private-corporation, pro-profit agenda of the radical right wing.
His book sucks (yes, I've read it- a couple of time). It misleads and misstates many of the issues facing the FAA, and pushes a private, technological fix which won't work for a problem that's overstated and overblown.
Fox got beat to this news story. Instead, they run this crap.
This author completely mis-spoke about this topic. ALL of the people at this meeting, were MANAGERS, not Air Traffic Controllers. Additionally, controllers don't buy the ATC equipment, so it is completely dis-ingenuous to blame controllers for antiquated ATC equipment. He's just schlepping to sell his new earth-shatttering book....Please....
Remember these were MANAGERS and SUPERVISORS, not the same hard working men and woman that actually work keeping aircraft separated called AIr Traffic Controllers
All private sector profit making companies across the USA are hit with TAXES, all sectors are cutting back on payroll & job hiring- the only portion of the USA not taking steps to cut back are all Government & federal organizations which rely on TAX money to continue to operate -
It is time for the citizens who pay taxes to insist all Government operations reduce in size by 10 per cent
