Rebuilding something as critical as the nations’ aviation system using underpaid 1099s working nights/weekends is certainly not the way to build a robust and fault-tolerant system. Idiots!

Ah yes, we should drop $20 billion dollars to some consultant instead. Who will hire incompetent people who'll do 30 minutes of actual work per day.

but you won’t have to pay pension and benefits :)
