I agree with Jeff Williams' sentiments regarding the ridiculous suggestions
made by People's Express. I certainly will try never to fly with that
carrier and will let them know the reason why. Too often 121 carriers think
they own the sky - quite often to the extent of ignoring Part 91 right of
way rules. One day some Captain is going to fly right through a 150 who
had right of way, but as Richard Bach said in A Gift of Wings - the 150
will be said to be in the wrong because "... the light plane hadn't filed
a flight plan."

Already I have noted a desire to keep us small guys out of TCAs. The landing
fee for Boston used to be only $5. Last month it went up to $15 and next
month they're putting it up to $25. Next they'll do what the UK airport
authority for London Heathrow does - $75 per passenger and crew member!!

      If god or whoever had meant us to only fly the airlines, he or she
      would have cut our legs off to fit the seats in steerage class and
      given us plastic teeth to eat the food with.
