This was posted today on the Air Transport Association daily news flyer. As
you know, ATA is pushing user fees big time. I would think that a better
place to put your comments is with AOPA.
"Airlines urge user fees to fund air traffic control
Major airlines believe the air traffic control system should be funded by a
user-fee system because business jets, like commercial aircraft, take up
space in the sky, no matter how many passengers are on board. And because
only one plane can take off at a time, the system experiences similar
strains from both groups. Such a system would increase fees for business
aircraft, which represent 18% of flights but pay just 5% of Federal Aviation
Administration fees. "We've in effect been subsidizing Lee Raymond of Exxon
Mobil and all these corporate guys flying around," Air Transport Association
President and CEO James May said. The Wall Street Journal (subscription

Reminds me of chicken..... Buy it by the pound and sell it by the piece.
Then only buy smaller birds... More pieces per pound. They are talking user
fees up this way too. If they want to be totally fair then charge by the
filled seat.... Crew seats included. I figure for less than four seats the
postage would be more than the fees.
