The airlines are behind the push to put USER FEES on General Aviation. Why
would they push to tax their own fuel?
The Airlines will say that they pay their share.. they don't. Every ticket
they sell includes a $10 fee that is passed from the customer to the Govt.
But the airlines won't tell their passengers that is where the dollars are
coming from to that they claim to have to pay.

The airlines exist to carry passengers so it is right that the passengers
pay to use the facilities. The passengers are the users so they pay the user
fees.

If airliners were flying empty then it might be right to tax the airlines on
empty seats but really, the passengers pay for everything in the end.

It is a bit of a dull argument divorcing the airline form the passenger.
