I mean, really. No politics. No FAA union/management propaganda.
Just the facts, ma'am.

Here's what I *think* I know:

- Major airports (or "hubs") are way over-crowded, beyond capacity
- Minor airports (or "spokes") are becoming over-crowded, too
- GA airports (like Iowa City) are vastly under-utilized


You should take a look at the trends over the past 5-7 years.

The airlines (major carriers) share of the market is diminishing, and
the regional's share is booming.


This is because they are turning over the spokes to the regionals. That's
what they should have done from the get-go.
