DESCRIPTION:
Martha Kuhlmann said 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.. K. Saade said 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 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.

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
Donohue and Shaver have taken an enormously arcane and complex set of issues and players and laid them all out very clearly and directly . Donohue and Shaver have given us the best prescription I ve seen for fixing it. --Robert W. --David V. 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. --Paul Fiduccia, President of the Small Aircraft Manufacturers Association . For the crisis in U.S. Donohue and Shaver are the doctors, and the doctors are in! They have the knowledge and capability to work through this problem to success if we as a community want to fix the system. aviation is far more serious
C. Donohue has received numerous awards, such as the Secretary of Defense Meritorious Civilian Service Medal in 1977 and the Air Traffic Control Association Clifford Burton Memorial Award in 1998. He has been listed in Who s Who in America since 1992, was named one of Federal Computer Week s top 100 Executives in 1997 and was also named one of the top 100 decision makers in Washington D.

Dr. In short, this book should be read by every airline passenger traveling in or through the United States. system. Interestingly, these problems are not the inevitable result of the size or complexity of the U.S. As a country,. Shaver, formerly a senior RAND Corporation research analyst and now a visiting research fellow at GMU, served as chief scientist for policy analysis at the MITRE Center for Advanced Aviation System Development. Amsterdam moves 30% more passengers than Newark, but the average flight delay is an order of magnitude lower. In addition, a European Passenger s Bill of Rights giving distressed passengers the right to substantial and immediate compensation has been a powerful incentive for non-U.S. But it doesn't have to be this way. The stories they tell are compelling. With decades of experience in civil aviation and policy, Drs. Air transportation in Europe, with almost identical air traffic control systems and safety standards, is far better. Even more importantly, there seems to be a complete absence of advocacy for the customer the passengers. There are solutions to our air travel problems, real solutions that can make real differences. George Donohue and Russell Shaver are well qualified to assess the
