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.

I agree - privatizing ATC is a great way to reduce the quality of the service as well as put it at the whims of a corporation and stockholders. It's the whole 'smaller government' thing, but obviously its a push for that without a consideration of the consequences.
Do it like nav canada there are no stock holders it is not a publicly traded company. By law profit has to e returned to the user's and accounting is not done by nav canada itself.
Great. Another Amtrak in the air.
What a great idea. First ATC is controlled by the airlines and pilots unions. A small minority of the board represents GA. Next while the exempt GA from fees initially, you can see it coming when the funds don't exceed expenses. Then there is always the small issue that everyone already pays for ATC through fuel taxes. Nothing like double dipping. Brilliant!
Atc is not funded by any government taxes on anything in canada. It is a user pay system based on chargeable weight units.
The IRS has been getting away with double dipping for years! LOL
