The National Office shall spare no reasonable expense in the protection, continuation, and growth of all bargaining unit positions, and shall offer all lawful resistance to out-sourcing, or contracting out, or to form a quasi-governmental corporation, including any exploration of separating Air Traffic Control from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), whether it be for profit or non-profit.
In the event of imminent or impending reform or restructuring of the Air Traffic Organization, including
privatization, the National Executive Board shall spare no reasonable expense to protect every interest of the Union including, but not limited to: pay, benefits, and working conditions.

Rationale: H.R. 4441, the AIRR Bill, was introduced in Congress almost a decade ago and was a complete failure, from its inception to its final defeat. Regardless of which party controls Congress, there is little to no support in removing Air Traffic Control from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). As such, this language should be added in order to avoid making this mistake again. NATCA should avoid being open to privatizing or contracting out the National Airspace System to a private corporation. Instead, NATCA should strive in working with Congress on bipartisan legislation that provides a stable and predictable funding stream without removing Air Traffic Control from the FAA.
