Ah, the irony. Airlines (and their customers) need to pay more to keep a bloated and ineffective security system everyone wants to get rid of.
So the administration proposed a $100 tax on each flight departure, including corporate jets and general-aviation aircraft that require federal air-traffic-control services, in a bid to more evenly spread out those costs.
Sounds like Europe. Flight training is going to become prohibitively expensive. Bring on the MCL - the true death of the profession, no barriers to entry, zero skill in the right seat.
