Agency says program will improve controller visibility on runways and taxiways.
So they have a ground tracking system for vehicles with transponders… but never equipped the vehicles with transponders?! 17M$. SEVENTEEN MIL! This is a rounding error even to the FAA.
It cost two Canadians their lives, another crippled for life, to move these idiot bureaucrats & politicians off the mark. I sincerely hope they are all haunted by their lack of action.
At least one, City, Chicago, already did this years ago. It’s been very successful.
