FAA'S BLAKEY: "CHANGE IS NEVER EASY"

FAA Administrator Marion Blakey has been spending a lot of time on
Capitol Hill the last few weeks, trying to build support for her new
aviation user-fee funding plan. And she's getting a little tired of
all the criticism it's been getting. "In recent weeks, the rhetoric
about our finance reform bill has become very, shall I say, animated
and aggressive?" she told a meeting of airport executives () on
Tuesday. "It's mighty frustrating ... If the FAA really wanted to kill
GA, as our critics claim, we'd just sit back and do nothing. We'd
leave the air traffic system just the way it is, and let congestion
slowly squeeze them out."

"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.

The woman needs to get out more often.

Agreed.

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

I receive criticism from only one direction, and the criticism is in the form
of personal attacks, rather than comments on the topics under discussion.
