Why We Need Aviation User Fees

[poadeleted21]

If it's really about the airlines, let them foot the bill and leave the rest of us the heck alone.

Umm.. I think that's the point, is to have YOU foot the bill, not them.

I'm surprised NATCA hasn't weighed in on this one. A Democratic administration stomping on their revenue stream. (User fees, less operations, less controllers.)

Always fun to watch a good Cat Fight between a Union and the Democrats who supposedly support "Blue Collar Union Folk."

Bring it on, NATCA. If you're not chicken. Pansies.

We, the consumer pay no matter what. The airlines pass through these fees, and taxes. We pay them when we fly commercially, we pay them when we fly GA through fuel taxes. We always pay, a corporation is just a piece of paper.

At some point we will begin to realize our income, and wealth is not limitless, and stop this crap.

we are not the consumer. the entire airman certification and air traffic control system exists to benefit the public, not the pilots.
