.........one from column one...........thank you very much.........

I have found no compelling argument that disqualifies #2.

.........#2 is disqualified..........he has an IQ of 70..........he can elicit some understandable words his face grimaces when he delivers them...........so, he's a 70.

And instead of complaining that someone's action to alleviate possible stress in a situation isn't good enough for you...

Please, provide your reasonable solution for the problem. I'm not talking politics here, I'm just following mom's rule of "if you don't have anything good to say, " and "if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem."

I don't know much of the situation, so I can only offer to plan ahead, or be prepared to drive.

What he said.

So what would you like the president to do? Buy more planes? Restrict the number of tickets sold? Come to your house on Thanksgiving and entertain you with olives on the ends of his fingers?

Jeez people, he's a president, not a god.

Besides, you know that if he didn't do this, and next week some retired Air Force general told NBC news that this could have been done and wasn't... You'd ***** about that...

How about this:

It's not a political problem. It has no political solution. Bush should do nothing and stay out of the damn way.

The first thing to do is to define the problem.

The way I see it is the problem is attempting to sequence too many aircraft for landing at all the various airports. When humans attempt to do this, they are not capable of handling any more than a specific number of arrivals to a given runway in a given time period. Nothing is going to change this fact.

So, either you allow computers to do more of the sequencing or you build more runways or you force the airlines to use larger aircraft. The latter is no solution because the public likes the smaller RJ's that can take them to smaller cities at a reasonable frequency. It's exactly counter to the need for larger aircraft to move more people.

At the present time, the three airports in the NYC area will typically experience 30 minute to 1 hour delays........in perfectly clear weather.

This should tell you that the current number of aircraft attempting to land in NY is too great for the infrastructure (controllers and runways).

I believe part of this is a political problem. The FAA is using equipment that is archaic. I a sure WVO can shed some more light on the situation but 2 things I have heard repeated often are 1. up date the radar and the systems that the towers use. They are out of date and cannot handle the current volume much lest the forecasted volume. 2. allow the planes to fly more direct routes. My understanding now it that they must fly along certain way points instead of a direct A-B route.

If Congress would light a fire under the FAA and give them the necessary funding, alot of the congestion could be reduced if not eliminated.
