Sec. Duffy on the ATC Modernization: We Have to Make Investments into a Network That Has Been Neglected for Decades

RUSH EXCERPT:
DUFFY: "Of course it is it is the safest air system in the world bar None But, but, to that point, I think it’s important we have to acknowledge when we saw these inconsistencies on Friday with our telecom and with our radar that concerns us And so because we care most about American safety we want them to go from point A to point B safely get home to their loved ones we issued the ground stop and we safely were able to land over 3,500 planes but that is our mission and when we see issues we take sometimes, pretty remarkable measures to keep you safe So it is safe it’s gonna remain safe but let’s not lie to each other we have to make investments into a network that has been neglected for decades We need to put money into it to make sure it’s still resilient for the future"
