The airlines have been trying to get rid of GA for years. Thus
far they have not been successful, and their arguments now are
just as bogus as they were twenty years ago.

C J, I have worked for several airlines over a 25 year period
ranging in size from one of the world's largest (PanAm) to a
one airplane airline (Dominicana). At a couple of them, I served
as Director of Operations and at a couple of others, Chief Pilot.
At NO time did "General Aviation" ever cross our minds. I don't
know what my argument against them would have been. In the Miami
area, I operated out of Miami International and GA pretty much
stuck to Opa Locka and Tamiami. A much bigger problem to the jet
carriers were all of those commuters flying turboprop bugsmashers.
