“The battle over ATC privatization won’t end with Transportation Committee chairman Bill Shuster’s retirement,»Сказал президент и главный исполнительный директор NBAA Эд Болен сегодня утром на региональном форуме NBAA в Уэст-Палм-Бич, Флорида. «Мы используем региональный форум для вызова членов к действиям по этому самому вопросу.» Шустер (R-Pennsylvania) announced early this month that he would not seek re-election this year.
Bolen noted that the push for separating air traffic services from the FAA is “still very much alive,” adding this will continue to be amplified as the current FAA reauthorization extension expires in March. To counter this, NBAA and other general aviation groups have created the ATC Not for Sale программа, which were on full display at the forum via banners and T-shirts emblazoned with the slogan.
“Members are critical to the success of our efforts to abate the ATC privatization push”
“We’re asking everyone to take three minutes of their time to contact their members of Congress to tell them that our ATC system isn’t for sale.” The association has set up a Contact Congress webpage to make it easy for members to contact their representatives in Washington, Округ Колумбия.
