Congressman Unveils Proposal for U.S. ATC Corporation
House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee chairman Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) today unveiled his much anticipated FAA reauthorization proposal that would separate the nation’s air traffic control system into an independent organization paid for primarily through air carrier user fees and run by an 11-member board.

Socialize the costs, privatize the profits. What a garbage bill.
Nav canada has in several years since it took over written checks back to ans users as they are not allowed to make a profit. The cost to operate canada's ans is now 1/6th of what it was when the government was in charge of the system.
Every other country that has privatized their ATC system has seen a reduction
in their already struggling general aviation sector because of increased costs.
The public does not benefit from this.
The only ones who benefit are the behind the scenes, already fat cats, that
see huge profits to be gained by owning a monopoly on an essential part of the
safest aviation system in the world.
As always this is about money and aviation safety shouldn't be in private hands.

This has been shown in the EU and other country's as a very bad idea. They also do not have the quality that the FAA provides. Just listen to them over there and look at how they handle AC that tells the tale.
Not for profit... right up until someone shows that it can make one, when it will then be sold.
Just like the control over some ports in the US by a foreign company who does not pay the same taxes as a US based one would.
