There are several clips are airing on CNN Airport Network, and on www.smartskies.org
The Clips are insulting, and ridiculously slanted to favor the airlines. 
The General Public does not know this. 
It's on TV it must be true--right? 

Be Prepared, Get involved.  This is a war we can ill afford to loose.
The next mission may be to start closing reliever airports and shutting down those "luxury" flight departments whose only purpose is to take their executives to golf games.

Oh, and note the "Educational" clip that shows two executives talking to their companies on their CELLPHONES while AIRBORNE. Nice education for the infrequent flier.

Remember that an Airline in Bankruptsy DOES have to pay TAXES, but "User Fees" can be WAIVED during the Bankruptsy re-organization. 
When was the last time a GA company got low interest loans or tax breaks from the US Government to stay afloat after a disaster? 
Truth is that many of the Airlines were in financial trouble and already headed for Bankruptsy BEFORE 9/11.  Until they get management and unions under control that will never change.  They've milked their Flight Crews and Pension funds for all that they can get.  Now they are after General Aviation in every form.

WHY should GA have to foot the bill for Airline mis-management?
