It just keeps getting better...
FAA warns Teterboro pilotsMaybe someone can answer this:
Aside from serving as an airport for organ donations (a worthy cause) how does this airport benefit the same people it threatens and annoys? I understand that ordinary people have to tolerate some minor inconveniences for the sake of commerce and industry, but no one can tell me (and I've been asking) how Teterboro serves folks like me and you.
From what I'm hearing, the health and safety of a highly populated region (not to mention the quiet enjoyment of property) is compromised because Eminem, Ted Turner and Martha Stewart don't want to use Newark Airport when they go skiing at Telluride. I'm sick of it.
I can live with Newark Airport. I derive a benefit because I use it. But if rich, inconsiderate celebrities and business people want to use Teterboro because it's "more convenient" then they can pay my property taxes via a whopping airport safety/convenience surcharge.
The Port Authority spokesperson said: "We're supportive of any measure that will enhance increased safety in the skies." Why not impose a surcharge that discourages frivolous usage?
