"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.

The woman needs to get out more often.

This is true of nearly everyone in DC.

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.

Mighty frustrating all right... that we have so many imbeciles in
in high governmental positions.

Se sounds like a whiney bitch to me.... living proof of the peter
principle.

Well, we have no one to blame but ourselves for voting the Bush regime
into office for two terms.

He is but a small part of the problem, and at least he'll be gone
in two years. Then we'll have another panderer to deal with for 4
more years... maybe even 8, it doesn't matter. Hey.. with a little
luck we'll get the Pandering Champion for president: Hillary Rodham.

What this country needs is term limits for members of congress and the
Senate. Until that happens nothing much will change.
As far as a leader of our nation (i.e. president), the last one we
had was Ronald Reagan.

The real problem is not Bush, it is the entrenched bureaucracy at CIA, State
and Justice over which he has absolutely no control (in reality). They are
undercutting him at every opportunity, and making him look like an idiot. I
have to admit, they are doing a damned good job.

Lordy, little scares me more than the name Clinton on the presidential
ballott, unless it's "what's her name" from California.:-))

We have them in Michigan. They aren't in office long enough to really
accomplish any thing and we certainly aren't the best example of a
prosperous and efficent state. Term limits are OK, but they need to
be longer than two terms.

No. Not really.

Clinton established the fact that ATC was an inherently governmental
function, thus blocking privatization efforts and their requisite user
fees.

Bush overturned Clinton's edict to pave the way toward ATC
privatization. Now he has Blakey carrying the ATC privatization ball
in Congress.
