WASHINGTON — The air
traffic control system could be in
serious trouble by the winter of
1983 because of overly optimistic
projections on replacing striking
controllers, a House staff analysis
said Wednesday.
The report, released by the
House Post Office and Civil Ser
vice Committee, said the only way
to correct the situation is to rehire
controllers who went on strike
Aug. 3.
The Democratic Study Group,
an organization of House liberals
and moderates, issued a separate
report concluding the Reagan
administration, the striking Pro
fessional Air Traffic Controllers
Organization and the American
public are all losers because of the
walkout.
But, the report said, “the big
gest loser is the American public,
which not only has to foot the bill
for the administration’s $12 billion
in additional spending and re
venue losses, but which also must
bear the brunt of an estimated $3
billion in annual losses to busines
ses and state and local govern
ments.”
The report continued: “In addi
tion, it is the public— not the air
controllers or the Reagan adminis
tration — which must bear what
ever increased danger there is in
air travel as a result of the PATCO
administration impasse.’’
In its 15-page report, the House
Civil Service committee staff
questioned whether the Feder®
Aviation Administration will b<
able to reach the goals it has set fo
rebuilding the controller worl
force after dismissal of more thai
11,000 strikers.
“It appears that by the winter,9
1983, the system could be in se
rious trouble,” the report said.
The work force, will be only a
two-thirds of the level the FA^
now considers necessary for fid
capacity. This is 20 percent belov
the pre-strike levels.
Air controllers will have litth
experience, and supervisors
military and others augmentipj
the work force will have experi
enced 16 months of long hours
little leave, and, for some, duty
away from home.
AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL EN
