Aero-News Quote of the Day
"Your e-mail provides no factual information about what
is needed for system transformation, but instead makes a blatant
attempt to encourage ill-informed support from people who are
justified in their frustration with this summer's unprecedented
airline delays."
Source: Ed Bolen, president of the National
Business Aviation Association, in a terse letter to United Airlines
CEO Glenn Tilton regarding the carrier's "Contact Congress"
initiative, asking passengers to take up the fight bandied by the
Air Transport Association and other pro-airline interests, to
impose user fees on corporate aviation. In-flight magazines for
airlines such as United, Continental, American, Northwest, and US
Airways have featured editorials from the CEOs of those respective
carriers, each with a common message: you, the passenger, are
helping to pay for corporate bigwigs flying around in their
bizjets, taxing an already-stressed air traffic control
network.
