Some LAX questions FAA should answer
For two terrible days last week, LAX passengers endured confinement in immobilized airplanes, long delays in terminals, overwhelmed bathrooms and a whole series of similar insults. Most of these passengers will be happy if they never again have to pass through Los Angeles International Airport.
This supersized snafu had nothing to do with runway capacity or safety, nor with issues over which local officials have any control. It now appears that one federal computer caused the entire mess.
Luckily, Federal Aviation Administration Administrator Marion Blakey is scheduled to visit Los Angeles this week. But is Blakey coming to talk about how to make our airport run more efficiently? Not a chance. She has been invited by a coalition of local business organizations sponsoring yet another expansion of Everyone's Favorite Airport.
