Most of the push for user fees comes from the larger airlines. As it is,
their tickets are the most expensive, so they're paying more in taxes than
short haul providers. Put user fees in and the short haulers pay more.
They're making more takeoffs and landings, so they use more ATC services.
The big carriers would pay less because their flights tend to be longer
with fewer T/Os and Ls.


I don't see how that follows. How does more takeoffs and landings mean more
ATC services?
