摘要

The entire FAA reauthorization bill has been held up in Congress over the issue of air traffic control "privatization" at small VFR towers. A nine-month, multimillion-dollar lobbying and ad campaign by the National Air Traffic Controllers Assn. (Natca) claims the Bush administration is putting air safety at risk with plans to farm out the U.S.' entire ATC system to the lowest bidder. Although the actual battle concerns fewer than 70 small non-radar control towers, the rhetoric is obscuring a growing, bipartisan consensus favoring fundamental ATC reform (see p. 54). A long array of critical reports by the General Accounting Office and Transportation Dept. Inspector General's Office documents the FAA's chronic problems and enormous cost overruns in its attempt to modernize. Simply put, the FAA has demonstrated it is not structured to manage a high-tech, 24/7 service business like air traffic control. The FAA is a command-and-control regulatory agency, constrained by federal budget rules and subject to detailed oversight from Congress. And the FAA struggles so mighti- ly because air traffic's funda-mental characteristics are much more like those of a commercial business than a typical government activity.
