Tim,

In any case, when there is criticism of an idea from so many quarters, it's
probably not a good idea.



Like criticism of your posts, comments and attitude?


You made my day. Thanks!

"Squeeze them out" of what? The sky?

Clearly she hasn't been flying in most parts of America. The skies are
quite empty, almost everywhere outside of the handfull of major
airports.


A lot of people in the FAA don't understand GA, especially the small aircraft
component of GA.

Administrator Blakey was probably referring to the ATC system not the
sky. If so, it indicates her lack of understanding of the regulations
covering the ATC system, as well as her airline bias.

Right. She needs to "get out" of the office she currently holds. :-(

No kidding. I fly out of the second-busiest airport in Montana.
There's more than enough room for everyone, even the magpies.

People who spend most of their time inside the Beltway live in a very,
very skewed fantasyland.
