Not yet anyway. Of course those of us who fly in the Northeast or I
suppose southern California are going to get nailed with the "except if
the operation is through terminal airpace for a large hub airport, in
which case the operation may be subject to the fee established for
services provided in such airspace." just about any time we fly. I hate
to think what this will do to organizations like Angelflight. Some 90%
of the Angelflights I've flown have been into or out of Boston Logan.

I would sincerely hope that if a user fee model is put in place that Angel
Flights would be exempt. I, too, do the majority of my AF flights into and
out of Logan.

If they are exempt, I bet it will be a rebate that you need to do a
bunch of paperwork to recover, not a waiver of the fee in the first place.
