Smaller airports are lifeline of the communities they serve, serving as gateways to the community for businesses and residents. For that reason, Pullman, WA Mayor Glenn Johnson is one of many mayors across the country who oppose ATC privatization. “We don’t have a freeway here, we also don’t have a waterway, air transportation is our key to get out,” he said. “Under the Federal Aviation Administration everybody does get treated equally, under a privatized system, I don’t see that happening. We have reliable service, safe service as it is right now. It’s fair to all concerned.”
