So sue me, already. The FAA said so, and now the airlines have and so the feds are responding with unusual speed for any agency. And it's all over slots. No, not the kind you find in
The Port Authority, which runs Newark and the other two New York City at the proposal doesn't make sense and anyway the federal government doesn't have legal authority for the sale. The FAA and its parent, the Transportat ion Department, say that yes it does. And it threat ens to withhold all federal grants to the Port Authority if it follows through on its threat to bar landings by any airline that buys and then tries to use the slots. The Port and the Air Transport Associat ion have sued over the auction, asking a court to block it. The auction, set for September 3, has been temporarily suspended but the issue is far from settled.
this is typical federal BS. they want to seem like they are fixing a problem, rather than acutally upgrade the radars, landing systems etc which would increase the numbers able to fly.
Will's solution wouldn't help.
Flying isn't the problem, runway occupancy is the problem. Crossing runways means that departures are slowed by arrivals, and arrival metering has to be used to allow departures to get out on time-- not that they can because the taxiways are too congested to allow departure sequencing to maximize efficiency. Arrival delays are rare in clear weather, if departures are okay, but cloudy weather usually means wet runways or departure restrictions-- either prevents maximum use of runway sequencing.
lets remember folks, these slots belong to he public and are managed by the faa. they are not owned by the mbas' managing (or trying) whats left of the industry. let one federal agency in this country do their job? bjm

atinquated radar means more space required btwn planes when landing/taking off. getting uptodate systems decreases the amt of space btwn planes.
secondly: i dont see caps on other busy airports (e.g. o'hare). therefore this is federal bs.
