*** PREVIOUS RESULTS *** Before we left for AirVenture Oshkosh, AVweb asked readers where they stand on the recent (and continuing) brouhaha between NATCA and the FAA. We were a bit facetious in the choices we offered – who, us? – and here were your responses:
“NATCA!” dominated the survey, with a full 88% of respondents pumping their fists in the air to cheer for overworked and underappreciated controllers.
A much smaller percentage of our readers (only 5%) were willing to chant “FAA!” on behalf of the federal government.
Slightly more than that (6% of respondents) seemed to be fed up with the controversy and voted that we “fire ’em all and sort it out later” – a choice that drew some criticism of AVweb in the July 25 edition of AVmail.
*** THIS WEEK’S QUESTION ***
This week, AVweb wants to know what you think about the changes to the Washington, DC ADIZ. Unfortunately, we can’t offer a wide range of analysis in our answers – we’ll have to rely on your letters and commentary to fill in the gaps – but, for the purposes of “QOTW,” we’d like to know which blanket statement comes closest to matching your attitude.
