Comments on: FAA reauthorization bill stalls in Senate again (7th time now) http://www.consumertraveler.com/today/faa-reauthorization-bill-stalls-again-7th-time-now/ The last honest travel site Sun, 12 Feb 2012 14:38:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: NJCAAN http://www.consumertraveler.com/today/faa-reauthorization-bill-stalls-again-7th-time-now/comment-page-1/#comment-18561 NJCAAN Sun, 20 Dec 2009 23:49:34 +0000 http://www.consumertraveler.com/?p=23010#comment-18561 Robert, curious as to what you think is a solution besides proper scheduling of aircraft volume as opposed to overscheduling. NY airport overscheduling is well documented in FAA Federal Registrars when the agency implemented flight caps at the airport. It did so to maintain the existing delay level at LGA and EWR and to reduce it 15% at JFK. You may wish to do a little more research into capacity constraints at the 35 OEP airports. Without new airports or runways, volume controls are the only appropriate methodology to reduce delays.

It's hard to think that anyone takes you seriously, the way you ramble on. Why don't you focus your energy in a positive way to find solutions, instead of raging on the way you do against FAA administrators. John – just read your ranting blog post.

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:43:54 +0000 http://www.consumertraveler.com/?p=23010#comment-18403 Your comment above reflects a lack of understanding of the issue, purposeful or not. You act as if you drank their aero-mercantile Kool-Aid, Charlie. Yet while you were taking that good long drink, we were telling each United States Senator, individually: "Don't blow our US$35 Billion Dollars on a broken FAA 'run' by college drop-out 'Administrator' Randy Babbitt". Say NO to Senate Bill S. 1451 and its intended wasteful federal spending on the deceptive twin spectres of "NextGen" and FAA's harmful "NY/NJ/PHL Airspace Redesign": http://removesturgell.blogspot.com/2009/11/35-united-states-senators-are-about-to.html …and we were right. Charlie, do you seriously think the aeromercs are asking you to throw YOUR money at this problem because they have YOUR Joe-Traveller best interests at heart? If so, you must be a very innocent man. FAA NextGen is a money-grab just like FAA Airspace Redesign. Until this past year the skies were purposefully over-saturated and over-scheduled to justify these two money-grabs post hoc – and I’m gathering from your comment above that either: (A) you didn’t see that hustle in the making; or else (B) you did see it, and yet you’re pretending you didn’t for the sake of your airline advertiser paymasters. The "technology" that would increase capacity has been around for 3,500 years. It's called concrete, as in runway concrete. You mis-state air traffic controller position, and the position of the public, when you suggest otherwise above. Self-dealing aero-touts looking to cash-out their lobbyist pensions, would have you believe that the solution to FAA management incompetence is to throw US$35,000,000,000 more of YOUR dollars at the problem in the form of an ill-conceived 2009 FAA Reauthorization Bill. By their logic, because 1,000 monkeys have trouble writing “Hamlet” on Smith Corona typewriters, we should buy each monkey a Gateway 700XL instead. Those monkeys have names like 'Babbitt', 'Krakowski', and 'Kennington-Gardner'. Perhaps these monkeys are your friends. Don’t tell David Grizzle, though, as he is clearly no fan of evolution. John J.
