NBAA calls for end to government shutdown as NOTAMs ground GA flights at 12 hubs.
Where and how does the FAA get their insane and extremely discriminatory ideas like this? It is just about the same as if NHTSA invoked restrictions that only allowed big rig trucks and buses to use our highways. People would never stand for a restriction like that, yet theFAA gets away with restricting general aviation aircraft in the same manner. Scheduled carriers have absolutely no legal priority to the use of our air transportation system, yet the FAA, without any public comment input, creates severe restrictions like this against GA! The insanity of our government never ceases to amaze and disappoint me!
