      Yeah, shocked me too! But basically EVERYTHING in America is privatised. And no-one seems to understand, or care, that that means profits need to be made, and cuts are inevitable because the owners are not happy with just satisfactory profits, they have to be BIIIG profits! and get bigger every year.

    Reminds me of the time when aircraft controllers went on strike nationally in Reagan's first term. He gave them an ultimatum to return to work or be fired. They declined and thousands were fired and Reagan put in military controllers to run the nation's airports. In the end, the controllers union was destroyed. The public was in full support of his actions.

      ​@@captainspock6221 Your original comment has no specificity, you just call OP a liar and to 'stop making stuff up'. There is no clue that you are disputing only part of OP's comment. You say 'no they weren't liar' which could apply to the ATC controllers who were fired, the public reception, or the military controllers who were substituted. Or all three. Your original comment is ambiguous.

    San Carlos lies beneath San Francisco Class B airspace, so you can fly there without the necessity of ATC control (until you enter San Carlos Class D airspace). So, if they lose their tower, it will be just another uncontrolled field in the San Francisco Bay Area. Like Gnoss Field, Byron, Livermore (at nite), Ried-Hillview (at nite), Hayward (at nite), Palo Alto (at nite), Moffet Field (at nite),, Buchannan Field (at nite), and Tracy. There's about a dozen airports in the Bay Area that are uncontrolled all the time or at night.
