Most other countries outsource ATC. You could easily outsource harbormaster and I'm sure some of them are.

I know as fact that Columbia River pilots are contractors, very well paid and you don't hear about them running tankers aground.

What's funny about this is that some topics which used to be Sonic's fringe rants are now looking more likely than not
