Trump administration says there is no plan to privatize air traffic control. The plan is to overhaul and replace the air traffic control system.
The unprecedented coalition of support we’ve assembled – from labor to industry – is indicative of just how important it is to this administration to get done what no one else could. The American people are counting on us, and we won’t let them down. https://t.co/AvCNzAz3V5
.@SecDuffy is rolling out all the colorful metaphors he can come up with to drive home the point about just how old the air traffic control system is: Created when Elvis and Duran Duran were stars. Like a flip phone instead of an iPhone. A 1967 VW Beetle when we need a new car.
We should not be relying on air traffic control technology that came out during the glory days of Elvis & Duran Duran. That’s why we’ve unveiled a plan to build a brand new system and train the best and brightest air traffic controllers. Under @POTUS, we will deliver! https://t.co/jeYf5OEfB0
