Default Meigs ...

The fact remains, we pilots/AC owners, are a small (less than 1% of
the general population) and have N O clout. That means, when an
airport such as Meigs is closed by Daley (or any mayor for that
matter) most of the public couldn't care less.

As a matter of fact, Daley may have more supporters in Chicago than
the combined membership of AOPA including the entire flying public.

As for the fines, any sanction short of forcing Daley to restore Meigs
Field is meaningless.
