Therefore, the routes that are flown by the various aircraft are not "more crowded" during a holiday, and the suggestion that military airways will help alleviate overcrowding is preposterous.
But, truthfully, what would you expect from GWB........except more stupidity?

I tend to agree with you on this, and was prepared to say that the only variable would be private plane traffic, but then realized that they typically fly at a lower altitude than commercial airliners. As such, I must reluctantly concur that our esteemed President is indeed...a moron.
