Aero-News Quote of the Day

"What we need is action, now. NATCA is prepared to work with the FAA and Congress to address this crisis before it becomes insurmountable. We have identified real solutions that can make a real difference. However, we all need to recognize that the first and most important priority is to provide funding to hire more controllers. We can no longer wait. For many locations, we have waited too long already."
