:46:01
you never even sent in
a letter of protest.
:46:03
Where were you when the airlines
and the pilots...
:46:05
and the rest of us
were pleading...
:46:07
for more airports
and better traffic control?
:46:09
You were picking out the colors
in the ladies lounge.
:46:12
So now you've got
your consequences--
:46:14
congested air traffic
where Sunday pilots hold up...
:46:17
airliners with thousands
of people aboard...
:46:19
and force us to stack up
planes bound for New York...
:46:21
as far away as Denver.
:46:23
When it comes to politics,
you're a child.
:46:25
Two of our councilmen
live in Meadowood.
:46:28
Think what they could do
to us downtown!
:46:30
l'm thinking of those pilots
upstairs waiting to land,
:46:33
flying blind in that muck...
:46:34
and circling in holding patterns
and praying to God...
:46:37
that some tired, overworked,
underpaid controller...
:46:39
in the tower...
:46:41
doesn't have another plane
on the same course.
:46:43
You can call it pigheaded.
Call it anything you want.
:46:45
As long as we're not
below F.A.A. minimums,
:46:47
we're not closing down.
:46:50
All right,
if that's the way you want it.
:46:52
l'm calling
the other commissioners,
:46:54
and l'll let you know
what our decision is...
:46:56
within an hour.
:46:57
That's your privilege.
You hired me,
:46:59
and you've got
the right to fire me,
:47:00
but until you do,
this airport is staying open.
:47:52
Do you wish to make
a reservation?
:47:54
No, l don't.
Could you please tell me...
:47:56
if there's a flight to Rome
tonight?
:47:59
Yes, our Golden Argosy
flight two.
