James Burnley was invited by The White House and President Trump to attend the signing of the Air Traffic Control Reform Initiative on June 5, 2017. The Initiative focuses on plans to separate air traffic control from the FAA and place it in the hands of a private, non-profit corporation, in an effort to cut costs and speed up innovation.
Several news outlets covered the signing, including NPR, CBS News, CNBC, C-SPAN, USA Today, and several others.
In addition, Mr. Burnley was interviewed by Sirius XM.
