we MAY see Mr. Daley indicted
on RICO, since Daley misappropriated Federal funds in the demolition of
Meigs. It would be sort of like going after Al Capone on income tax
evasion, but it would stick, and Daley COULD go to prison!


Oh, just like Kenneth Lay. :-)

The flying public has no authority over airport operations of which
I'm aware.

If Daley (and other mayors) have their way, GA won't be cluttering/slowing
operations at any airports.

If I recall correctly, the FAA agreement required for AIP funds
requires all flights to be treated equally.

Fat chance there.

Never in a million years.

When pigs fly.

Daley will never, ever, ever be held personally accountable for Meigs, ever.
The city, maybe.

There is a greater chance of peace in the Middle East which of course will
never, ever, ever happen either.

I'm not sure if the restriction comes from the FAA or Chicago, but
they probably can get away with it. Since the number of commercial
airline operations were restricted at ORD earlier this year, it would
not necessarily be discriminatory to restrict GA as well. Whether or
not the levels of restriction are equal is open to debate.

It comes from FAA because Chicago wouldn't fix it.

GA has many other places to go in or near Chicago.

Actually it was left to the airlines which did nothing forcing the FAA to
step in.

That is beside the point. If the city of Chicago is in violation of
their AIP agreement, they are subject to fine. If the FAA is not
enforcing the terms of the agreement, they are also subject to legal
action.

I gotta digest that one. Let's see, "The flying public has no authority over
airport operations of which I'm aware."

And the tooth fairy will be by tomorrow, Santa in tow, with the Easter
Bunny.
