"What I am hearing could be likened to the bus industry asking
to ban cars from the interstate!"
Source: AOPA President Phil Boyer at an
FAA-organized meeting on the upcoming traffic jam at flight levels.
The FAA says, because of the proliferation of regional jets and
corporate aircraft capable of flight above 10,000 feet, the
nation's skyways are about to become overcrowded. One airline
industry representative proposed creating High Occupancy Vehicle
lanes in the skies -- sort of like what we see on the highways now.
Boyer obviously didn't take very kindly to the suggestion.
