WSJ calls for Privatization of FAA
WALL STREET JOURNAL – March 3, 1998 Editorial

“Scarier still is the revelation that the FAA gave itself a deadline of November 1999, leaving itself only two months' slack. Whom is it kidding?”

The FAA is an agency that fell 15 years behind in its major computer upgrade, a job that still remains unfinished. Even when it's done, it will consist of technology that, in any other part of the economy, would be on its way to the junkyard. Instead of just being installed.”

“The FAA's failures have become an authentic ‘crisis', a word much overworked in Washington, but one that really applies this time.”
