What is sad is that those not affected this time around (the 79 sites) --- your time is coming if your not on the cut list this time around.. I know several observers at sites not on the list of 57 (slated to close) that are doing nothing-- or their sites SWO is doing nothing. ,, because their a$$ is not in the fire. ( Btw-- hats off to those not on the list that are fighting tooth and nail). I can understand, not caring for other sites when your site is not on the "list". . We are selfish after all. But look back to the spring of 2013. 14 sites slated for close by 5/01/13 released in late JAN of 13'. Not a big deal cause your site is not on the list?? Then comes March 6th , 2013. Chaos happens?? Who'da thunk? "The whole program" gone by the end of the summer??? Big deal. FAA slam dunking. No worries?? trust me folks-- the same deal is being done here (or being tried) -- but this time in "3" stages in 3 years. The plan for the elimination of the entire "CWO" program is alive and well. -- I have heard from those that have seen it on paper,, I will try to get a copy and post it. Hold me to that. Do you think the FAA will stop at 57?? Join the party now in fighting back if your not one of the 57 sites ( or for God's sakes one of the 57 who has done nothing) Once the 57 are gone,, can you expect those working other jobs (from the 57) to fight for the remaining few CWO's?? What comes around-- goes around. Do you think the FAA planned it this way to just eliminate 57-- and not to add more?? You bet they will add more-- I have talked to a NATCA Rep that has seen it. And if you don't get riled up soon at sites not forced to close-- LAWRS will overtake your site within 2 years. Sorry for the negative news around Christmas-- but folks..- that is how the FAA rolls. Be proactive- contact your local Senator and Rep(s). Get them involved in this process even if your site is not involved now. Sites will be shut down-- will yours be one of them??

Guess what? The FAA has been under pressure lately, keep writing to your Congressional representatives, and don't stop with one letter, you can make a difference, if you don't quit. Remember all the FAA is concerned about is the safest system in the world! If the FAA has nothing to hide they should welcome a Congressional Representative at each local SRMP, to witness and testify that the process is fair and unbiased.

Ask your user groups and pilots to sign this petition... not all of the observers at my site access this forum - they know about the petition though.
