Letter March 14, 2000 Dear Madam Administrator: This letter concerns the FAA/Industry Spring 2000
Initiative. As the exclusive representative of the air traffic controllers most
responsible for the dissemination of adverse weather to the flying public, NAATS is
disappointed to learn that we are not included in this effort. The primary goal of the Strategic Planning Team appears to
be reducing air carrier delays by providing real-time weather to our customers. This is
one of the many services we provide daily to the air carrier, general aviation and
military flying public. Our controllers are highly trained professionals in weather
interpretation and dissemination. We ask that you reconsider and include our
representative on the Strategic Planning Team. Sincerely, |
