Trump promises 'cheaper, faster and safer travel' with private air traffic...

Privatizing ATC

This article talks about the possibility of privatizing ATC. I’m not for more government controls, but also not sure that ATC rules, regs, and controls should be outsourced to the lowest-bidder. This would also pose a huge threat to GA. There would be the potential for larger ‘voiced’ groups like major commercial carriers to influence routes and priorities. Not exactly sure what I think about this yet. Anyone have any persuasive thoughts in one direction or another?
