Here is the FAA's new priority with your tax money. Keep in mind we have

Neither the FAA nor the Air Force would have the authority to fix the
record airline delays. It would take the ability to put into place
procedures that the air line lobby and their bought off flaks in
congress and the executive branch would never allow.


Yeah, we would have to bring back the CAA.... Airline slots by
regulation... Stu's would have to have RN degrees... You would be
expected to wear a suit and tie and hat, or full length dress and a
hat, to board... Children would be in fresh clothes with their hair
combed... The Pilots would stand by the door and greet passengers as
they board...
It would a hell of a lot more pleasant than the cattle stampede they
call airline travel today...


It would be a hell of a lot more pleasant for sure, and also a hell of a
lot more expensive. Remember the term "jet set"? Remember *why* that term
was used to refer to the leisure rich?

Personally I'd rather have today's craptastic air travel than go back to
top-class service which I can't ever afford to have.
