Here's a great thread on advances in ATC (my current domain), and what privitization would mean.https://twitter.com/EmilyGorcenski/status/871788110283243521 …
Would love to hear your thoughts on how the proposal would affect your day-to-day!

Right now the FAA pays me to perform studies on how new equipment and procedures would impact safety. Would this work remain a priority?
-
I believe the proposal calls for an independent non-profit corporation to be created to oversee the national airspace system (NAS).
-
Presumably it would be governed by representatives from manufacturers, airlines, and the federal government.
-
The first two groups are duty-bound to maximize profits for shareholders. Only the government can have safety as its *primary* goal.

I get that most people are to my right on economic issues! But a corporation *could* decide that a 1% increase in accidents is profitable.
