You can't blame that accident on privatization. We don't know that it wouldn't have happened regardless of who was running the ATC system. NAV Canada works very well and there has never been an accident here.

Didnt the Swiss have a problem with that exact same thing a few months ago? Controllers were understaffed(save a buck) and one went to lunch and 2 planes banged into each other? Dont want ATC with the lowest bidder any more than Major Surgery with the cheapest Doctor. DZ --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
