Hitman Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Hail Trump President Trump announced Monday a plan to privatize the nation's air traffic control system — a move that would remove the job of tracking and guiding airplanes from the purview of the Federal Aviation Administration. "Today we're proposing to take American air travel into the future, finally," Trump said. The nation's air traffic control system was designed when far fewer people flew, Trump said, calling it "stuck, painfully, in the past." He also called the system "ancient, broken, antiquated" and "horrible" and said his reforms would make it safer and more reliable. The FAA has worked to upgrade its system, but Trump and other critics say it was taking far too long. "Honestly, they didn't know what the hell they were doing," Trump said. "A total waste of money." http://www.npr.org/2017/06/05/531574945/trump-announces-plan-to-privatize-air-traffic-control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
