FAA'S BLAKEY: "CHANGE IS NEVER EASY"

FAA Administrator Marion Blakey has been spending a lot of time on
Capitol Hill the last few weeks, trying to build support for her new
aviation user-fee funding plan. And she's getting a little tired of
all the criticism it's been getting. "In recent weeks, the rhetoric
about our finance reform bill has become very, shall I say, animated
and aggressive?" she told a meeting of airport executives () on
Tuesday. "It's mighty frustrating ... If the FAA really wanted to kill
GA, as our critics claim, we'd just sit back and do nothing. We'd
leave the air traffic system just the way it is, and let congestion
slowly squeeze them out."

"Squeeze them out" of what? The sky?

Clearly she hasn't been flying in most parts of America. The skies are
quite empty, almost everywhere outside of the handfull of major
airports.

The woman needs to get out more often.

She could start by going out and earning her certificate.

A lot of people in the FAA don't understand GA, especially the small aircraft
component of GA.

This is true of nearly everyone in DC.

Agreed.

In any case, when there is criticism of an idea from so many quarters, it's
probably not a good idea.

Administrator Blakey was probably referring to the ATC system not the
sky. If so, it indicates her lack of understanding of the regulations
covering the ATC system, as well as her airline bias.

quite empty, almost everywhere outside of the handfull of major
airports.

Right. She needs to "get out" of the office she currently holds. :-(
