Dire Desistance

The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday announced a pact between Boeing and Lockheed Martin to resolve the nation's palling air-traffic controller concerns. With "U.S. air traffic expected to double, or even triple, over the next 20 years" a new system is being developed to take advantage of the improved technology of airplanes, and to effectively exploit the use of satellites.
The FAA, however is keeping the deck shuffled, by allowing the opportunity for other companies to develop and bid on such management systems. Thus, the lamentable hardships of air-traffic controllers come to a conclusion. Demands have far exceeded the benefits bestowed upon this profession. Long hours and little relief have long plagued this industry. The end of the dirigisme brings relief to us all. I know I feel revitalized. Maybe even Brazil could come to understand something from these dealmakers.
