100 dollar fee for corporate jets?

[TigerDriver]

7-8 legs a day? F@#k! I would rather be unemployed.

These guys pay from 10-20k A MONTH for MSP. This is less than chicken feed comparably.

...you must not be aware of the current prices for chicken feed...

It seems pathetic to whine about line workers and limo drivers who have no 401Ks or medical benefits to speak of.... IMHO.

I have no problem if they earn it.

 

[jetwash]

$ 100 is not much when you compare it to the cost of a ham or turkey sandwich from Rudy's

Agree and well said. Didn't know "professionals" were supposed to be tipped, with the exception of one group.

How did this go from user fees to tips for line guys?

Biggest problem with user fees is that they would create a huge government organization to collect the fees, and the "trickle down" theory tells us that there will soon be charges for weather briefings, filing a flight plan, practice approaches, etc, etc (see Canada for details...)

Canada does have half the unemployment we have....

We're not going to have them for long with Obummer. Gimme the tips.
Next time, vote for a real American and not someone unqualified to run for dog catcher.

 

[brokeflyer]

instead of a $100 per flight charge on private jets.....there should be a MINUS $100 per minute charge for a congressman.

friggin criminals are running free in washington

Obama takes a "Big Old Crap" every time he comes up with a new idea.


He is "Anti" anything "American"

As apposed to, say, the governor of Texas? Oh, wait a minute, that one wanted to secede from the United States. Kinda tough to call that american, I guess,...
Oh, I know! How about the former governor of Massachusetts! No, that won't do, he initiated state-wide mandatory health care insurance, and you guys don't like mandated health care, so he won't work,...
The former governor of Alaska, with all of that foreign affairs experience, just opted out. The former governor of California has one too many babies and a foreign birth certificate. Is that a problem? And the governor of New Jersey just took his ball and went home (sniff), so who do we have left?

NEWT! You remember Newt, don't you? He likes to run things. He once ran the House. Oh, but that didn't turn out so well, now did it? It seems he didn't behave too well in the sand box, and got his hand slapped. Not exactly a consensus builder, was he? Oh well, maybe it won't matter if he's in the White House, because we all know how much the Congress likes to compromise with the president. Oh no, that won't do either! You guys are just going to have to find someone who can finish fixing this mess that Bu... I mean Obama got us into!

There, that wasn't so hard.

...with one tenth the population and twice the tax burden.

But the House today said they don't like the $100 user fee. Instead, they want to tax people who make $1 million or more a year. Guess on this Board that would be.......huh.........?
