My name is John Johnson. I represent the Professional Airways Systems

Radars,Automation,Communications,and Navaids that guide your Aircraft

public have heard nonstop about Air Traffic Controllers. Guess what?
Without US Controllers might as well be sending smoke signals. Our
average age is 51. Congress is screwing with our retirement
system(FAA/GOV)If we all go out,over 50% can, the systems in this
country will be in deep dodo.I maintain a Cat 3 ILS in Atlanta PLUS
VORTACS,AWOS,NDB,DBRITE,MICROWAVE,etc. WE ARE PISSED! We need YOU,the
user to contact your represenitive and tell them,SUPPORT the systems
people who maintain our system BEFORE ITS TO LATE. Air Traffic is the
race car driver,WE ARE THE PIT CREW.Without a Pit crew not only do you
lose the race,YOU COULD CRASH!!! HELP US! Thanks for your support!
