atc system is not the minimum leadership. they are doing a very good job certainly from a safety perspective given the resource constraints and the governance constraints that they have. they have start and stop budgeting. they can't borrow long-term to make the appropriate infrastructure investments. they have a great deal of difficulty managing the transition to next gen because of the budgeting problems and the massive and that is a problem. what our nation needs and deserves is a modern, efficient, air traffic control system. such as, for example, our neighbor to the north, canada which does a superb job. very safe, very sufficient very modern and progressing at a rapid clip. so we are keenly interested certainly at airlines for america, which i'm chairman currently, of supporting a reformation of the nation's air traffic control system which you have to separate out from the faa. right now the faa is in a conflict of interest position. it both regulates the air traffic control system and it operates it. so it's self regu

atc is the traditional signaling system on the northeast corridor. uses track circuits and to determine train location. the signal system sends coded messages along the rails picked up by the locomotive that tell the locomotive the speed that the signal ahead is indicating. normally that system does not give speed. instructions for curves. what fra has instructed amtrak to do now and do it immediately is add another coded track circuit or a code message on the track to indicate a speed restriction for the curves. ultimately, positive train control uses transponders electronic devices between the rails to give the exact location of the train and the exact distance to a curve speed re restriction restriction. >> amtrak required to have positive train control running by the end of the year. there's been a lot of pushback from the industry. the association of american railroads said last year "it's clear the railroad industry cannot install it on the entire network by that deadline." first up is the deadline reasonable? >> the deadline was set seven year
