So I was just reading this story from USA Today about how -- after one of the worst summers on record for airline delays and cancellations -- the Federal Aviation Administration is finally going to do something about the situation.
Finally.
My question is, why did it have to get this point?
The proposed overhaul of flight paths could send planes over parts of the country that never had any air traffic before, and some folks are worried about noise and quality of life issues.
With more people traveling and frustration with air travel at an all-time high, I'm wondering, what about the quality of life of all the folks stranded in strange cities, in airport lounges or stuck waiting in lines for hours at a time?
I'll bet they wouldn't mind an extra few planes passing above their place from time to time.
This makes me slightly optimistic. I can not tell you how little faith I have in the American transportation system. I have had little if any luck with planes and buses.
