All while the FAA screws over their controller and technical workforce
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. http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080205/airli...lays.html?.v=2 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!! |
