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.


I saw a neat rebuttal recently that placed the blame on the airlines for
switching from fewer large jets to many regional jets. It was actually
the most logical explanation I've seen as the RJs DO use the same
airports as the big jets and they are bringing the masses to and from
those jets.
