More money would make the situation worse. They need competent leadership. Everyone like to just say “add more money” because it means no actual operational change to the status quo.

- atrus 2y agoHardly, the FAA is handing permits out the instant the mandated waiting time is up. They couldn't go faster without a literal act of congress.
- TrapLord_Rhodo 2y agoIt's not a mandated "Waiting time". It's the max amount of time that they have to respond. And they wait until the very last day.
- gamblor956 2y agoThe FAA already has competent leadership and staff. They don't have the budget to handle the increasing number of tasks they have been given to manage. The FAA manages more flights and space launch operations than it did in the 1980s, when it had a budget more than quadruple the size. To put it bluntly: you get what you pay for.

- mensetmanusman 2y agoYeah in my area govt. officials can be incentivized to say no to prove they are doing the job. Adds massive amounts of delay.
