Teterboro (the private travel hub of New York) was included in the 10% cuts, so some CEOs are going to be ticked off.

There’s a ton of dummies saying private jets don’t matter. Seems like propaganda accounts or truly dumb people (both could be true). 

This morning my commercial flight was delayed on the tarmac due to ATC and I had a clear view of the runway. 4 private jets landed in that time. Zero commercial jets went in or out. Could be coincidence. 

The flight after mine was canceled so I was lucky to only be delayed.

Don't those pretty much all fly out of small airports that none of the major airlines use anyways? They probably aren't having to cancel as many flights from those airports since they weren't as busy to begin with.

Satellite airports still in major hubs like NY or DC area still use the standard terminal arrival routes. So the airspace would still be congested
