America's Air-Traffic Jam
Despite FAA efforts to improve the nation's air-traffic-control system, flight delays and cancellations are at an all-time high. What do you think of this steadily worsening problem?
Edward Tahim,
Carpet Installer
"I don't mind the delays, but sometimes I wish the ticket-counter employees wouldn't openly laugh at me while throwing rocks at my head."
Denise Bianchi,
Dental Hygienist
"I like spending extra time at the airport. It gives me a chance to shop for Dean Koontz novels."
Pete Dermer,
Systems Analyst
"Maybe if the pilots honked their horns, that'd get things moving."
Bob Jansen,
Pilot
"As a pilot, I sometimes have to deal with passengers' complaints when we take off late. But then I usually run 'em through a bit of turbulence, and they shut up real fast."
Fred Jaeger,
Realtor
"My flight got delayed, and I had to take an economy-class seat like a chump. Me, a Century 21 regional manager!"
Hannah Bouganim,
English Teacher
"I'm so fed up with the airline industry's delays and cancellations, I'm going to complain to my friends."
