NATCA Calls FAA Request A 'Publicity Stunt'

Monday, the war of words continues between the FAA and
the National Air Traffic Controllers Association over ongoing

a federal mediator to oversee its talks with the controller's
union, NATCA's response was succinct, calling the request "a
publicity stunt, pure and simple."
