[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2178848, member: 42"] There are furloughs. My point is, the furloughs were politically targetted at the groups within the FAA that would draw the most attention and phony outrage. There is also speculation that the controllers union (NATCA) is agreeing to/party to this theater in a long-game effort to get some of the non-union contract-controller air traffic control towers out of the game. The union only represents a fraction of the controllers at the hundreds of contractor run towers in the coutnry. Some say the NATCA hopes to shut those non-union/non-fed towers down short term and create public outcry, thereby allowing the FAA to march in and save the day with full-time, union controllers. Increases the union base and increases the FAA's justification for budget. [/QUOTE]
