Nearly three quarters of more than 350 AVweb readers responding to last week’s question would prefer no privatization of Flight Service — 33 percent felt the move could impact a pilot’s safety. While the FAA considers taking the leap, only a quarter of our poll’s respondents indicated that they were open to any change at all … and three percent think the tasks performed by Flight Service could just as easily be performed by monkeys.
