"Newps" wrote in message ... The last time we had this fight was 10 years ago, the current system has to be decided no later than Sept 30 because there is a sunset provision in what we are doing now. They will, in the end, reauthorize the current system pretty much as is. Taxes on airline tickets and per passenger fees may get adjusted slightly. The best way to tax is per ticket or passenger not on the value of the ticket. That way the tax is not revenue dependent but movement dependent. The Low costs airlines put less into the taxes whilst having more activity which does not make sense. Ah, the heart of the user fee battle. How do the common carriers properly allocate the costs amongst themselves when, push comes to shove, they cannot agree on much of anything? |

WATCHDOG WORRIES ABOUT NGATS
(http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archive...ll.html#194481) The FAA's Joint Planning and Development Office (JPDO) is making progress toward the lofty goal of reinventing the National Airspace System, but there's a minefield of coordination, budget and implementation issues ahead, according to a report (http://www.oig.dot.gov/StreamFile?fi.../av2007031.pdf) from the Department of Transportation's Office of Inspector General. OIG said the creation of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NGATS) is "an extraordinarily complex and high-risk effort given the potential multibillion-dollar investments by FAA and airspace users." While there seems to be an overall plan to coordinate a bunch of agencies toward the goal of accommodating three times the air traffic of today by 2025, the OIG worries that there's a lack of specific direction within those agencies to make sure the work actually gets done. The OIG is naturally interested in just how the FAA is going to invest all those billions of dollars in NGATS equipment and facilities, but it's also concerned about the financial impact on those who will use the system. http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archive...ll.html#194481 |

Haven't you by now learned to never let reality interfere with
simulation? :-) On Feb 18, 9:13 pm, Sam Spade wrote: Mxsmanic wrote: Judah writes: You yourself expressed a lack of understanding of trim. What did I misunderstand about trim?
