Trump has moved toward privatizing the national air traffic control system

Trump has moved toward privatizing the national air traffic control system but Americans Against Air Traffic Privatization say this would destabilize the system, and have launched a petition drive to block it. “Julia Alschuler, Spokesperson for AAATP said: “A Republican-led Congress has rejected ATC privatization time and time again on the grounds of safety, feasibility, and overall concern for the American people. Privatizing Air Traffic Control is a solution in search of a problem at a time when we need to strengthen middle class workers and rural communities instead of leaving hardworking Americans vulnerable to corporate interests. We hope that Congress and the next Administration will hear the concerns of the American people and finally ground this failed proposal once and for all. ””
