What possible motivation could there be to eliminate airline passengers from paying their fair share of ATC facility and personnel costs? Don't worry, when GA is pretty much destroyed in a few years and gas tax revenues go away they'll be back and revivie the ticket tax. Amen... traditional supply and demand curve... if you increase the tax by a factor of 3, the demand will go down. If the demand goes down by a factor of 3, you haven't increased revenues at all. If it goes down more than that, you are worse off than before, unless you believe the FAA will save money not having to service as many GA planes. I doubt that they will since most of the infrastructure costs are associated with the airlines and major airports. On the bright side, think of all the new drag strips, tract housing and shopping malls that we will gain in place of the small airports that go away. God knows we need more of those. Maybe a new Walmart or two as well! Dean |
