Ever fly Northwest Airlines? You may have noticed an article in the airline’s magazine written by Northwest CEO Richard Anderson which is not only a terrible slam on general aviation, but inaccurate as well. For instance, Mr. Anderson states, “As the system works today, you, the commercial airline passenger, are subsidizing private aircraft ownership. This is not right.”
We who fly privately pay many fees, including fuel taxes, landing fees, and ramp fees, to name a few. And we certainly don’t have (nor do we need) the services provided to the airlines.
You might feel inclined to write Mr. Anderson your thoughts on the subject. Read the full text of his article.
