Fulton County, my home airport, is on that list. We just got the email today from the airport manager. I'm not politically savvy enough to know if this is all really going to happen, or if it is just the latest in a series of bluffs.
Can anyone see how this is going to work for the many, many, corporate operators who fly out of these types of airports? At FTY there are 5 multi-billion dollar company flight departments - do they have an sway in decision making? Maybe split the $500,000+ per year it takes to keep the tower open?
Very frustrating times.
