If congress had not started an investigation no one would be the wiser, because the FAA was not going to make them take planes out of service because it would have made their numbers for delays and cancelations worse than it was last year. Why are we letting the Fox watch the hen house? The Fox(FAA) doesn't care anything about lives only money. Just look at “www.faahope.com” putting all vital radar systems in south Florida both high(ARTCC) and low(TRACON) 1.5 nautical miles apart. What a great idea for a backup system. I don't think there is a business stupid enough to do that. The only thing that will make airline delays go away is more runways. The so called next gen that is due out in 1020 is so far behind the times now already that it will be totally useless. With next gen who cares if you can get more planes into the air the air ports can still only handle so many planes. Build more runways and stop consolidating radar TRACON's because it seems that none of the so called backup systems work anyway. Why only now are the airlines worrying about their planes?
