[quote user="schlimm"] I'm sorry, but the idea that someone who had experience flying planes years ago and then some more flying private planes can speak with as much authority about the various requirements of commercial jets as a (former) pilot of them is, on the face of it,  utterly ridiculous.  But then sam1 seems to be our resident polymath: accountancy, economics, finance, government, rail transportation, pilot, et al. [/quote] How do you know when I flew?  How do you know what airplanes I flew?  How do you know what environment I flew in?  What do you know about my licenses?  What do you know about the differences of flying a private airplane into the New York TCA and flying a DC-9 into the same environment?  What do you know about my business experiences?  What do you know about me other than what I say about passenger rail in these forums? What do your comments have to do with my point that air technology is evolving and one of the elements rolling forward would be the potential to add capacity to the existing system by increasing the capacity of the airplanes? Bluestreak has more time than I have.  So what?  I was simply trying to show that I am not unfamiliar with commercial aviation and have some feel for whether the current system can be expanded without a massive expansion of the facilities.  By the way, although I will leave it to Bluestreak to respond, it sounds to me like he was with Eastern Airlines.  If that is true, he has been out of the cockpit for a long time unless he or she transitioned to another carrier.   Why do you feel compelled to resort to personal attacks?
