Roanoke Times, 4/21/10, Pg 9: Tarmac rule won’t fix it all
“The misery index for airline passengers is definitely going to go up” an expert said!

The editors of the Roanoke Times didn’t have to wait for some unnamed “expert” to give them a realistic assessment of what the results of the Obama Tarmac rules were going to do. All they had to do was read the timely blog items:

Airline Travel: Nine Thousand Dollars Per Hour; 12-22-09

and
Obama Owes Thousands of Fliers $27,500 Each; 1-4-2010

The truth is simple: the major tarmac delays are caused by FAA control of the take-off and landing slots that they change by the minute and bad weather that changes by the hour.
-
Isn’t it typical that there is no penalty or reprieve against the FAA and National Weather Bureau (your government services) for their major and primary contributions to this problem.
Perhaps that’s one reason why only 22% of the American people trust the ObamaGovernment.
-
Perhaps the only way to penetrate the density of the media on this subject would be to initiate a government penalty program in which the paper is fined $100 per subscriber for every incident in which the paper is not delivered within one hour of the scheduled time and the paper would have no recourse against the weather bureaus or VDOT for their primary contributions to the reasons why the carriers can’t deliver.
-
On second thought, that probably wouldn’t penetrate either.
