Sequestered 2.0

摘要

Last month in this space, I discussed the FAA's plans to close scores of control towers around the country as part of its reaction to ongoing, manufactured federal budget crises. On April 5, two days before the first round of tower closures was scheduled and as this issue was being finalized, the FAA suddenly announced it would "delay the closures of all 149 federal contract air traffic control towers until June 15."
