House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee chairman Bill Shuster (R-Pa.), flanked by other Republican leaders on his committee, today unveiled his much anticipated FAA reauthorization proposal that would separate the nation’s air traffic control system into an independent organization paid primarily through air carrier user fees and run by an 11-member board. During a press conference on Capitol Hill, Shuster said the bill was “taking on the establishment” by removing the ATC functions from direct funding control of Congress.
