Beyond ambitious. More like fantasy.

From whose ass did they pull this? The ATC system is MASSIVE. You don’t just make changes without testing and testing and testing.

And where is the competitive RFP outlining the requirements? Who are the potential bidders? How long will that take, Mr. Duffy?

And #1: Where’s the money????

Like his first administration, his second is staffed with malcontents who have no idea what the government does, how it works, nor its complexity.
