ATC Zero in Jersey – The End?
It’s pretty much official. Millville AFSS will not re-open, except for a remote possibility of air-to-ground communications for a short period of time. You can read a local news item about it here.
The Millville controllers are finding themselves having to make some sudden tough choices. This makes even worse the existing insult-to-injury situation caused by the FAA. It’s bad enough that the agency cut off their careers, then refused to follow established law by placing the controllers in other positions for which they’re eligible; they must now uproot and move within two weeks (at their own expense) or lose six to eighteen months income that was previously promised.
