Default A Visit From Vido

I wish the big HUGE Airbus would get better reception. Our airports
are so overcrowded, (especially the flightpaths to and from the
airports) that the waiting times and delays are becoming unbearable.
Bigger single loads (plus the capability to load and unload
passengers in larger quantities) would be best (IMHO), rather than
more and more little bitty planes flying to more and more
destinations like gnats all around.

(I live near NYC)


There are only a handful of airports in the U.S. that can handle the Airbus
behemoth. That means that several (many?) airports will need upgrades:
Longer runways, condemnation of private lands to accommodate these runways,
enhanced servicing facilities (i.e., fuel trucks, provisioning, gates to
handle double the passenger load, etc.).

Implementation of the plane will also mean more money going to the
perfidious French.
