With the attention span of a 4 year old. This will take complex planning and long range funding. Do you really think this administration has the will or the expertise to do those things?
I do not think the administration has the attention span, but I do think Duffy does. This is the most ATC has been in the news in decades. If there was ever a time to shift/consolidate this is the moment.

Providing there is bipartisan support, and (again going on Duffy's word) regular reports to congress with progress being made, I see it happening.

And we have a whole union pushing for new equipment that's represented sometimes
 
Like it or not, both terms under DT have had some focus on ATC improvement. Although we may not agree with the concepts or plans, it has been a topic for which I have seen nothing from the blue team.

I grew up with ATC parents in the 80s and been active ATC myself since 1996 and can openly admit, this has been the only administration who has even mentioned improvement publicly with a plan and in the news. If you need proof, go check the dedication plaque on your facility and see what year it was. The last upgrade was STARS in 2002 and that was during the Bush (R) administration. ARTS II was in 1990 during the Bush Sr (R) administration

As much as I don't agree with some of it, it's progress we need to see happen. If you are here to just complain and not help it happen, you're in the way.

Make fun, poke jokes and laugh all you want about DT. What I am seeing is an attempt and atleast a half cocked plan which sadly is more than I've seen from the side that is supposed to be in line with our Union. A shiny new system will validate paying the folks who operate it well. Perhaps being bipartisan is not a bad idea because onces he's gone, it'll be crickets once again as history has shown us so far. I'm sure many of you have received messages from friends and family asking if your okay recently.. which is unusual. This is a good thing. Stay relevant.

Keep reporting the system issues and keep us in the news.

We have focus because a tragedy happened at DCA. If that never happened, most of America would think we still wave wands on the ramp.

That jump started it but the EWR issues with the radar/frequencies and staffing would have us in pretty much the same spot we are currently

Absolutely. I work up the 95 and they're all up in everyone's arse r now.

I think the news on DCA unfortunately got the general public on board. Not everyone understands tech, but we all understand death.
