Several years ago the FAA endeavored to re-invent itself, failed miserably and burned up a big chunk of dollars in the process. Lots of trendy words like streamlining and vertical integration were used...blah blah blah...it remains one of the most bureaucratic beasts associated with the federal government. If memory serves they have already failed once at ATC reform. We can scarcely afford another failure nor can the current ATC model remain unchanged and continue to support ever increasing demands..
