Just rolls off the tongue doesn't it?

Well, that's the current name of Sec. Duffy's air traffic control system. Well, not the initials, that's not the name, but it stands for...wait for it...

"Brand New Air Traffic Control System".

And is it going to be the best ever?

Well, right now, it's in the "concepts of a plan" phase. I suppose that is why Duffy came up with such an elaborate name for the new system.

@FluteMagician: 1) Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has been talking a lot today about fixing the air traffic control system. Well, I did some research and I found his plan to fix it, released a few days...…

Duffy has concepts of a plan, and the work is supposed to start this year.

I really don't want to fly anymore...

Meanwhile our president might accept a flying palace from Qatar?

Air traffic control should be privatized.

Canada has a private system that works fine and uses no tax dollars:

Nav Canada (styled as NAV CANADA[1][2]) is a privately run, non-profit corporation that owns and operates Canada's civil air navigation system (ANS). It was established by statute in accordance with the Civil Air Navigation Services Commercialization Act (ANS Act).

The company employs approximately 1,900 air traffic controllers (ATCs), 650[3] flight service specialists (FSSs) and 700 technologists. It has been responsible for the safe, orderly and expeditious flow of air traffic in Canadian airspace since November 1, 1996 when the government transferred the ANS from Transport Canada to Nav Canada. As part of the transfer, or privatization, Nav Canada paid the government CA$1.5 billion.[4]

Nav Canada manages 12 million aircraft movements a year for 40,000 customers in over 18 million square kilometres, making it the world's second-largest air navigation service provider (ANSP) by traffic volume.[5]

Nav Canada, which operates independently of any government funding,[5] is headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario.[6] It is only allowed to be funded by publicly traded debt and service charges to aircraft operators.

Maybe less time on TV whining about stuff not working and more time with the shitty non-plan.
