Default NY Times GA feature

It's mostly correct. That's how the demographics look. That's also why
private GA is withering.

I doubt the piece will garner admiration of GA from airline passengers
suffering through delays.


I don't even think GA is on the radar for airline passengers. The article
portrays GA as a hobby for quirky, rich geeks, and they just don't make a dent
in the nation's air traffic. Nobody is landing 737s on grass strips.
