  • Duh, After spending 9 years and 53 million dollars the FAA still does not have any kind of viable plan...Sounds just like the "reorganization" the FAA has recently attempted. The FAA's delusional planning fantasy seems to be "start changing things drastically and hope the details fall into place, in the meantime, act as if everything is hunky dory". Why can't we get some real managers in this organization instead of "pretend managers" whose inept and self-serving ways are destroying what was once a respectable organization? greetingsfromSTL Posted September 3, 2008 9:40 AM
  • Why am I not surprised? Scrap the special-interest (aviation)agency, and work for the following: Protection of all airspaces for the people underneath(us), limit the number of flights allowed to takeoff/land during busy periods, and vigorously crack down on ALL FAA violations. Oh yeah, and give those hardworking ATC's a hefty raise, and some modern equipment, they deserve it. ChristmasTree Posted September 3, 2008 8:41 AM
