Airline Delays in 2007 Were Second Worst Ever, With More Than 26
Percent of Flights Late

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A quarter of domestic flights failed to arrive on
time in 2007 -- the industry's second poorest performance on record
-- and analysts say it is likely to get worse.

More than 26 percent of commercial flights in the U.S. arrived late
or were canceled last year as rising passenger demand and an industry
preference for smaller planes intensified congestion in the skies and
on runways. The air-travel logjam, reported Tuesday by the Department
of Transportation, comes as a growing number of air traffic
controllers near retirement age -- a trend the controllers' union
says will magnify the problem.

It is good to know the FAA is EXPANDING their civil rights
and management staff while the Air Traffic control system turns to ****.

Government at work

The FAA needs more desk jockeys and management staff the hell with
Air Safety!!


Moron, What effect does FAA staffing or civil rights have to do with
"...rising passenger demand and an industry preference for smaller
planes..."

Dear Moron(squared)

It is the FAA's responsibility to regulate and oversee the Nations Air
Traffic control system.

If there is chaos in the skies and record delays and retiring/****ed off
FAA controllers and technicians and degrading safety if the FAA is not
responsible.......


So you are saying that somehow FAA hiring and staffing practices effect
"...rising passenger demand and an industry preference for smaller
planes...?"

Please explain.
