Today the FAA announce the closing of several contract towers in the US due to cost issues with staffing the facilities. The Official FAA News release is here:

and the direct link to the closing list is here:

Now what do we do? How does this affect how we provide services at these fields? Will we simulate the "closure" of ATCT's on VATSIM as well?

Sometimes the things the FAA comes up with can be completely ridiculous and totally infuriating. What was that thing about "blood on the runway"? Some of these Towers are VERY busy. Over 150,000 operations a year.

Que sera sera...
