BREAKING
The US just announced a detailed ATC overhaul, endorsed by the Air Line Pilot's Association. The overhaul will require congressional approval.
The proposed overhaul includes constructing six new control centers, upgrading technology at over 4,600 locations with fiber, satellite, and wireless systems, and replacing 600 aging radars systems. The plan also aims to expand systems that prevent runway near misses. The initiative, described as a leap from 1970s-era radar to modern communication technologies, targets completion by 2028.
While the House Committee estimated costs around $12.5 billion, actual funding needs could be higher, with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy requesting full upfront Congressional funding.
The proposal is endorsed by ALPA, with ALPA President Captain Ambrosi stating " As the primary users of our shared National Airspace System (NAS), we strongly support Secretary Duffy's plan to improve our nation's air traffic control system and improve the safety of our skies.
At the time of posting, NATCA had not issued a comment on the announcement.

BREAKING:
JetBlue Airways is reportedly negotiating a three-phase partnership with United Airlines, potentially leading to a full acquisition, according to sources cited by View from the Wing and Reuters .
Phase 1: Loyalty Integration The initial stage would involve a basic alliance allowing customers to earn and redeem frequent-flyer miles across both airlines. This phase would not include coordination on flight schedules or pricing, distinguishing it from JetBlue's previously blocked Northeast Alliance with American Airlines .
Reuters
Phase 2: Strategic Partnership Building upon the initial alliance, the second phase would introduce deeper cooperation, such as codesharing and reciprocal elite status benefits. This level of integration mirrors partnerships like that of American Airlines and Alaska Airlines.
One Mile at a Time
Phase 3: Potential Acquisition If favorable conditions persist, including regulatory support, United may pursue a full acquisition of JetBlue. This move would grant United access to JetBlue's valuable slots and gates at New York's JFK Airport, a strategic asset United has sought since exiting JFK in 2015 .

ATP Rule Update:
There are rising concerns that the 1,500-hour requirement could be subject to changes or reform. U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer has officially urged DOT Secretary Sean Duffy to hold a meeting with the Families of Flight 3407 group.
The 1,500-hour rule is a critical safety standard in U.S. aviation, requiring pilots to log at least 1,500 hours of flight time before flying passengers for commercial airlines. It’s intended to ensure that pilots have sufficient real-world experience to handle complex flying situations safely.
In addition to its safety benefits, the rule is also credited with helping improve pay for regional airline pilots. This has caused tension between some regional airlines and safety advocates. By raising the bar for experience, it increased the value of qualified pilots, which in turn pressured airlines to offer better compensation, lifting regional wages that had been stuck at poverty levels for decades while also increase wage expense pressures on a regional level.
