Sen. Charles Schumer says President Donald Trump’s plan to privatize the nation’s air traffic control system could mean higher costs for consumers.

Hey...Chuck! Please show me one instance where privatizing a gov't entity raised the cost to consumers. And don't forget, subsidizing a failing enterprise is the same thing as a real higher price to consumers/taxpayers.

He also said that during any national security emergency, privatization could hamper communication between air traffic controllers and the Department of Defense. …

He obviously has no idea how that communication takes place. Completely grasping at straws.

Something I’m wondering is: what if there is a strike. Like when Reagan broke the controllers union?
