D/FW among worst airports

Not a huge surprise, especially given its volume, but D/FW International was ranked as the nation's fourth-worst airport for delays ion 2008, per Travel and Leisure, with 30 percent of flights delayed.

D/FW air traffic controller suing FAA

$1 mil is too low, in my opinion

Anne Whiteman has filed a $1 million whistleblower claim against the Federal Aviation Administration.

Whiteman has battled the FAA for nearly a decade over its mishandling of air traffic control problems, followed by cover-ups of said problems, at D/FW International Airport.

The main expense listed in her filing is $720K in lost wages due to not getting promotions, etc.

Next is $250K for total jaw replacement. That’s incredible that TMJ or whatever became so severe over a decade of FAA harassment to necessitate that much in surgery.
