The FAA has been aware of this for awhile and has made changes to IAD, I am unaware of any changes to National. I've spoken with your Union people about your ASAP program but lost track of it over the past months with our own airline problems. Does ATC now have an ASAP program?

The ELDEE3 was written for performance 2 years ago but with the new fuel costs and the new cost index % slower than when the ELDEE3 was written the speed is slower and shallower. As a controller you've seen it.

We do have a national data base of problems just like this and the problems that get more hits from ASAP get corrected sooner. It's all about reporting safety concerns and with the FAA sitting in the meetings a committee corrective action has to be followed.

I'll try to get the data on the ELDEE3. Fli
