AOPA, along with some 145 other aviation organizations, is gearing up for the next round in the battle to stop the so-called privatization of air traffic control. With Congress back in session this week, Rep. Bill Shuster, the airlines, and other supporters of H.R. 2997, the 21st Century AIRR Act, will be blasting the airways and pounding the halls of Congress attempting to drum up support for the bill, which would remove ATC from the FAA and turn it over to the airlines.
