ACK

In case anyones interested in Nantuckets lack of housing...

Only way to find housing is through the Facebook group "Nantucket Seasonal and Year Round Housing" or Nantucket.net Classifieds section. Attached is listings from both sources. The excel sheet has 2 tabs: 'Rentals' and 'Employers Offering Housing' (you'll notice the FAA is NOT one of the employers offering housing out of the 92 businesses on island that do).

So me and my buddy were talking about it... why hasn't the FAA ended everyone's misery at places like this and installed one of the remote towers here? Looks like back in November of 2021 they deemed the test remote tower at JYO to be operationally viable so why aren't they implementing these towers at places where no one wants to live like GCN and ACK? JYO does almost 300 ops/day according to airnav which is a lot more than all the level 4 and most of the level 5 towers so why not take advantage of this technology and create a big remote tower center in a desirable location which would be operationally efficient if you could have like 20 CPCs qualified at 3 or 4 different airports and run more efficient shifts remotely. Anyway, someone who has connections with the higher ups should float the idea by them and save these poor souls from an eternity on Nantucket.
There is currently a 6 person workgroup looking into this exact thing.
