I'm delighted to see that the airline industry and the pilots union are suing the FAA over the decision to furlough air traffic controllers in smaller airports across the USA, including La Crosse.

To infer that shutting down the control towers won't compromise safety is ridiculous and to predict this won't cause delays is laughable.

It's clear that the Federal agencies and congress would rather play political games than concern themselves with the safety and convenience of the American people.
