FAA Unions Speak Out Against ATC Privatization
Unions say ATC functions are "inextricably intertwined" with FAA other functions and they would oppose both for profit and nonprofit structure.

The leaders of seven different FAA unions appealed to House lawmakers to reject efforts to privatize the agency’s air traffic control functions. In an April 22 letter to the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, the union leaders agreed that the most significant issue facing the agency is lack of a stable funding stream. But, “we do not agree that a massive change to the FAA’s structure is the solution to the funding problem,” they said.
