The last paragraph in the Jerry Sez section of the Bottomline seems ominous IMO:
"On the weather sites. More rumbles about changes in classifications and reduction of hours with the possiblity of some site closures. Nothing official yet as this comes up every year however my gut tells me there could be some movement and probably after the first of the year. We have been advised that NATCA has been involved in some of the FAA meetings and this is puzzling as we know the tower controllers sure don't want to do weather obs. Can't believe that our union brothers and sisters would be involved in this but the facts don't lie. More on this later and should something occur, we will fight the good fight, especially politically, to make sure that the public safety is no compromised."
