Democrats in Congress against NY-area airport slot auction (Winging It)

Democrats in Congress against NY-area airport slot auction

This is an issue that's been in the background recently -- how to ease air-traffic congestion and reduce delays at New York area airports. Some would like the same attention U.S. DOT is paying to New York paid to PHL. But that seems unlikely, especially if there are significant reductions in flights by the airlines this fall and winter because of the fuel-price crisis. The chronic delays at PHL, JFK, La Guardia and Newark may ease on their own as the carriers reduce capacity. Find a story about the reaction the Bush administration got at a House Aviation subcommittee hearing yesterday from Democrats at this link.
