What muscle would that be exactly? The muscle that comes from securing the jobs of the ATC, baggage handlers, check in staff, refuelers, despatchers, cleaners, caterers, car park attendents, bar staff and shop keepers?
Not to mention the customers who are paying to be able to use the airport and its new routes.
Should no expansion of air travel be allowed? If not then how do you justify any expansion of GA? Not that there is any.
We have always lead the field in aviation in this country. We do so at the moment with low cost aviation. That is a fact to be applauded by anyone with an interest in aviation.
It really is not difficult to totally avoid CAS or to obtain a service from the controlling agent. If you want great open expanses of uncotrolled airspace with cheap fuel and free flight following services then move to Arizona.
