Yes, I know, but there's a Settlement Agreement in place which only allows 10.3 passengers a year to fly out of John Wayne Airport...
But the way the County figures, while 12.9 million SEATS are allowed, since the airlines don't fly at 100% capacity, for whatever reasons, no more than 10.3 passengers will actually fly out of John Wayne Airport.
...and they claim that the Airport is allowed to withdraw some of those seat allowances if the Settlement Agreement number is threatened.
I guess in this case, and also in Imagination Land, it's easier to take away than to give?
If there is ever an issue, and this is a doozy, where Mayor Pro-Tem Leslie Daigle can step up, use all of her influence in the Orange County Republican Party (as the Deputy Chairwoman for the Republican Party of Orange County), use all of the same "Magic" she demonstrated to get all those awards and accolades over a FABRICATED ISSUE, and get all of her "Community" to start sending emails and phone calls to the County Supervisors, I'd say this would be a good one.
John Wayne Airport is the single largest issue in Newport Beach which negatively affects the entire City and can adversely influence its future more than any other issue the City has or will ever see.
Championing this issue successfully would catapult any City Councilmember into Deity Status (with State Senator Marian Bergeson coming to mind as an example of someone with Deity Status).
Why isn't there a line on the City Council right now to be the leader on this?
...and I wonder if City Manager Homer Bludau is still waiting until January 1, 2016 to start getting nervous?
I sure hope the City Council is nervous about it now.
