Aviation's friend, Mayor Dick Daley

Question:

Has anyone got a phone number for his office? -Mark

Response:

my proposed flight plan for my trip to Meigs next week. -Mark

Response:

I just emailed him, too. I told him he should stick to extorting from contractors, fixing elections, and other Chicago political staples and stay out of aviation.

Response:

Has anyone got a phone number for his office?

Well, www.switchboard.com lists (312) 744-3081 as the number for the City Council as well as for Chicago Aldermanic Information, so if that won’t get you to the Mayor’s office, I’ll bet whoever’s on the other end of that phone number could tell you what phone number would. Not that I’m suggesting calling the Mayor every time you go flying would actually be useful. You’re unlikely to talk to him, and I doubt he cares if his secretary has to field a bunch more phone calls. Pete

Whats worse….Mr. Daley or the people who voted for him?

Response:

In article I wrote and asked if he is at all worried about truck traffic in the Chicago area and what he thought about people being allowed to jump into cars and come to Chicago from all over the country without seeking his or anyone else’s permission. The bastard reminds me of a recent poster to this NG who also wets his bed whenever a plane flies over

Oh I just had to look, didn’t I – alt.activism.noise.pollution is about as active as a squashed turtle in the middle of the road. I think I found the person you are referring to – well, all he has to talk to is about a dozen other people on that newsgroup and apparently no one is listening. I wouldn’t be surprised if he starts bitching about all the F-16’s screaming around the skies. If he’s living on Long Island he should remember that two of the biggest companies on L.I. were Grumman and Republic (at least they were oh so many years ago when I lived in Hicksville, L.I.). Tom

It is a big event in Chicago. Why the dead even rise from their graves to vote for Mr. Daley! — HighFlyer Highflight Aviation Services

Response:

I enjoyed the final quote from the cited piece in the Sun Times. But, she said, hopefully, ”the FAA will listen to reason when a mayor is saying, ‘We don’t want this in our city.’ " Seems to me that, so far at least, the FAA has figured out that listening to reason, and listening to the mayor, are not the same thing. Funny how Daley’s press secretary equates "listening to reason" with "do what we want". Especially since the city administration’s repsonse to the calls for "listening to reason" on the Meigs closure plan has been "go to hell, we’re building a park". It’s always delicious when the shoe is on the other foot. I just hope it stays there. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – AS you are aware the ECB around O’Hare opened today.

I would love to see his reaction if the FAA banned ALL aircraft from Chicago, or at least the same types (part 121) that were used in the attack. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – AS you are aware the ECB around O’Hare opened today.

Response:

"Why is it they allow any plane, to fly any place…and no one knows who they are? So I can get a plane and I can fly from California to here, and not one person in Chicago knows about it?" I wonder if Mr. Daley has looked at the roads packed with mysterious cars and tractor-trailers lately? Whats worse….Mr. Daley or the people who voted for him?

I was thinking the same thing. But I did just get off the phone with FSS (1800Z) and they tell me that the ECB is indeed open AND Meigs and MDW are also open to VFR Part 91 operations. I mentioned the Daley stuff and FSS told me they went back and forth about Meigs and MDW a couple of times but decided to keep em open. At least for now. — Scott F. Migaldi PP-ASEL MSDT 150972

Response:

Bam! Daley slammed twice in one day. It is not a good day to be a demagogue. From AOPA: VFR flight restrictions lifted at Meigs and Midway operations at Meigs and Midway. The City of Chicago requested the ban shortly after the tragedies of September 11th and local FAA officials issued the VFR ban via notam, despite the fact that this kind of directive can only come from FAA headquarters. After repeated requests from AOPA, the FAA corrected its earlier action by removing the VFR restrictions at Meigs and Midway. Regional FAA officials also informed the city that any future requests for airspace restrictions should be directed to the FAA in Washington, D.C. — Scott F. Migaldi PP-ASEL MSDT 150972

That was me, and I still think it’s a good idea.

Have you ever heard him speak? Or should I say try to speak. It isn’t just how he says it but what he says. If I lived in Chicago I would be pretty embarassed having him represent me to the world. Then again a lot of the residents and the mayor are on pretty equal footings. Unfortunately he is in for life or until he no longer wishes to run for re-election. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – A couple of weeks ago somebody posted a great idea.
