Maybe when we pick a side, especially if we are in an area that either receives or doesn't receive subsidies, we show say how far we live from the hub and how much we receive along with how many passengers are subsidized. I'll start, I live 110 miles from one hup and 210 from another. A near-by city is 155 from one hub and 190 from the other. We receive no subsidies. It takes me 2 hours to drive to the closer airport and there is an airport shuttle available maybe twice a day. I don't have any information on how many passengers a day use the shuttle nor how many have someone else drive them or park at the airport. It might be just me but I sure as hell wouldn't expect the government to subsidize a flight for me so I could save probably half an hour.
Typical Democrat mentality. The government can solve all your problems with the peoples money which they know how to spend better than the people do. Plenty of Democrats voted to go to Iraq. Personaly I think both parties have to problem of trying to buy votes rather than run the government.
Everything works hand in hand to cause the problems and prevention. The only thing not working hand in hand is union and management. It is totally adversarial. If it isn't win big-lose big it isn't acceptable. Until the two can accept that they are interdependent there will be only further deterioration. Workers need management and management can only outsource everything to China until the Chinese say we will provide our own management now thank you very much .
Life liberty the pursuit of happiness and the right to never be inconvenienced. If you want to fly out of a remote area pay the price of the ticket that will support the service, or take the car, dog sledor whatever. If you want to play you have to pay. But if you want to play, I shouldn't have to pay. $2,000,000 won't balance the budget but no one thing will. 90 miles away from a hub? What a shame. Sounds like a good place to start a Shuttle Service.
