In this episode, Andrew Langer joins us to discuss one of the biggest questions facing U.S. aviation:

Should the FAA modernize air-traffic control—or move toward privatization?

We cover the FAA’s staffing crisis, the risks exposed during government shutdowns, and the national-security implications of outdated ATC technology. Andrew walks through the pros and cons of privatization, what modernization would require, how other nations have approached reform, and what’s at stake for the future of America’s airspace.

Topics include:
• FAA workforce shortages
• System modernization and technology gaps
• Privatization debates and global examples
• Shutdown impacts on aviation safety
• Congressional inaction and potential solutions

A must-listen for anyone interested in aviation policy, transportation infrastructure, or federal reform.
