![]() The opening post on this thread has the Federal DOT site, which has the data the Reason Foundation uses. They use the operating subsidy per passenger mile statistic, Precisely...averages, but I want to read about marginal costs of GA, or why this approach is not valid. In our Class B area, it's basically about bizjets, burning like $50/hour in fuel tax. It's very clear to me that if those guys weren't up there, only one ATC position -- the "satellite controller" -- goes away. But knowing gov't from the inside as I do, FAA will find a position for that guy in some understaffed place. A net loss to the Treasury. User fees are all about getting additional money that Congress won't provide through the appropriations process, unless they repeal the fuel tax. Is that seriously the plan? Fred F. |
