The commercial is outrages. The smartskies really F'd that one up. Biz jets don't cause delays at large airports. They don't get priority handling by ATC. That "advertisement" really torqued me off.
However...the point of smartskies is that GA aircraft don't pay a fair share. I think the term "fair share" means apples to apples. A GA aircraft that flys from TEB to PWK uses the same services as an airliners from LGA to ORD. I agree with that.
The airlines get all moist over the NextGen ATC systems only for one reason....fuel savings.
Well, if airlines were really that into fuel savings, they would have working GPUs and air conditioning available at the gate to reduce APU usage, buy more fuel-efficient planes instead of still flying gas-guzzling DC-9s and MD-88s, and have sufficient ground personnel working the ramp to reduce delays waiting for a gate.
Now about what's a "fair share," I think an important point is how many people are you moving through the ATC system. This is why the fuel tax is a "fair" way of paying for ATC services. Bigger airplanes move more people through the system, and usually burn more fuel thus paying more tax.
The sad truth of the matter is that very few, if any, items in the US tax code can be considered "fair." This system may not be considered fair by everyone, but it works. Now I'm pretty sure everyone can agree that there is a lot of waste at the FAA (like all government agencies), and that finding ways to reduce that waste would benefit everyone.
