When I read the article it didn't sound at all like someone who hates
General Aviation. It sounded like a standard CNN attack on business.

It is useful to remember that the haters are the airlines and the ones they
hate are the bizjets, who are taking an ever-larger share of their most
profitable passengers away from them. The prospect of hundreds of VLJ air
taxis terrifies them. They really don't give a rat's butt about pipsqueaks
like us. If we are "collateral damage" in their campaign, well, too bad.

Any time you hear a phrase like "globe trotting corporate executive" on TV,
you may rightly suspect it came straight from the airlines' P. R. and lobbying
apparatus. TV networks, ever in search of superficial, sensational sound
bites and too lazy to do any research, will open wide for this kind of stuff.
