    Those small airports play a critical role in the training of pilots. Without them, you strangle the pipeline for new pilots

      I wasn’t suggesting it would be permanent. But it would reduce the need temporarily so that maybe the military atc could cover while they train new people. At least the government might see it that way. They don’t care much about the long term anyway.
