YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe San Carlos airport in California has NO AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS?
According to a tip emailed to independent journalist Ken Klippenstein, this will be the case starting February 1st. In this email, a pilot familiar with the situation detailed how privatization of air traffic control has eroded an already tenuous system. While some airports staff their air traffic controllers directly through the FAA, more and more are using private subcontractors to fill these roles. Naturally, these private subcontractors under staff the locations they run to save a buck. In the case of San Carlos airport, the new subcontractor they hired decided to slash pay for its controllers. This resulted in all of them leaving. Now, instead of trying to fill these positions, they are just going to go with no controllers!
With multiple deadly plane crashes happening in less than one week, it’s unbelievable that anyone would think this is a good idea. But late stage capitalism doesn’t care about having good ideas. All that matters is extracting as much value as possible from everything. Instead of air traffic control being an essential service to ensure safe travel, people like President Trump and Elon Musk want the private sector to take control of it. So what if a few people lose their lives? It’s just the cost of doing business.
