Blame-shifting, its the American way! Of course the airlines want to
cover up their ineptitude by blaming corporate jets. The bottlenecks
aren't enroute, it is at the airports. Most corporate jets don't
land at the airline hubs, they use smaller fields.


I saw a neat rebuttal recently that placed the blame on the airlines
for switching from fewer large jets to many regional jets. It was
actually the most logical explanation I've seen as the RJs DO use the
same airports as the big jets and they are bringing the masses to and
from those jets.

IIRC, this article was in the Wall Street Journal about a week ago or
so.
