I sincerely hope that anyone who is against EAS also writes their congressman to get rid of the CRAF (subsidies for airlines with wide bodies).

I ran into a friend of mine on Monday. He is the Alaska State DOT Commissioner. He said Alaska has 40% of the total EAS.

And for many of you on here, may I suggest you look at a "to scale" map of Alaska (first hint: it is not a small island off the southwest coast of California. Second hint: Alaska is about 1/3 the size of the lower 48.). We are not talking about a convenience to avoid driving two hours to another airport. .... avoiding a two week sled dog trip to another airport, maybe...
