Donohue and Shaver have taken an enormously arcane and complex set of issues and players and laid them all out very clearly and directly . aviation is far more serious than most people imagine. --Paul Fiduccia, President of the Small Aircraft Manufacturers Association . Plavin, former Director of Airports Council International¬North America and former Director of the Port Authority of New York New and JerseyThis is a very disturbing book--and it was intended to be. --Robert W. --David V. For the crisis in U.S. It s among the best and most thoughtful pieces written on the subject it s a very, very good--and mostly evenhanded--distillation of the background and causes of the current quagmi
Dr. As a country,. Air transportation in Europe, with almost identical air traffic control systems and safety standards, is far better. Dr. Donohue, the current Director of the Center for Air Transportation Systems Research and a Professor of Systems Engineering at George Mason University (GMU), has extensive high-level experience at the Federal Aviation Administration and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Interestingly, these problems are not the inevitable result of the size or complexity of the U.S. In total passenger miles, air travel has never been more popular. These causes include airline deregulation, multiple governmental agencies with no central oversight or responsibility, multiple corporate entities with conflicting agendas, and a technologically outdated air traffic control system. tourism industry is estimated to have lost $98 billion in revenue due to our air travel mess.The Cures Fortunately, Donohue and Shaver don t leave us in this state of chaos. And in 2004 and 2005, the U.S. There are solutions to our air travel problems, real solutions that can make real differenc
Interesting The book was of interest to me as an aviation writer. I found many of the points to be valid and well supported. However, the focus was far to narrow and was limited to infrastructure shortcomings. There was little attention paid to the failures of management and lack of vision. It tells part, but not all, of the story.. Terminal Chaos exposes the injustices endured by the flying public Great book describing the complacency of an industry that has not evolved over the past 30 years. Old regulations and old technology = inefficient results. The end user, the American flying public, ends up suffering through delays and cancellations, not to mention a generally inefficient and uncomfortable journey as a whole. Terminal Chaos exposes the weaknesses in the system and provides interesting alternatives to alleviate a growing problem. Great book to read e. Waving the you-know-what flag What is the difference between Schiphol, Amsterdam's international airport, and Newark?If you noticed that Schiphol has six runways and Newark only has two, congratulations. Apparently the authors didn't, and left that out of their factors for comparison. Funny, because a runway is needed every time an aircraft takes off or lands, that they didn't think of it as miraculous that Newark can move 66% of the passengers that Schiphol does with only 33% of the runways -
