Blame-shifting, its the American way! Of course the airlines want to
cover up their ineptitude by blaming corporate jets. The bottlenecks
aren't enroute, it is at the airports. Most corporate jets don't
land at the airline hubs, they use smaller fields.


plus, is it really the airlines at fault when NIMBY rules?


Yes it is. The airlines have chosen the Hub and Spoke system which
concentrates all the aircraft into a few airports at pretty much the same
times. Blaming the NIMBY crowd would only work if you think the airlines
would be willing to flying to both North and South Whereeverville when they
are now just flying into Whereeverville.
