Well, this time the libs really will be able to say "Bush did it!"
The biggest problem id that European airpotrs have refused to allow US carriers to adjust their slot departures and arrivals in Europe until the first week of April....Thus this is what is going to happen.....
Say Continental Flight 123 leaves FRA arrives at 1200 arrives at IAH at 1400....FRA is not allowing CO to adjust the departure time to reflect the DST in March. So CO 123 wil lstill leave FRA at 1200, problem is it will arrive in IAH at 1500, not 1400. The one hour later arrival will cause massive misconnects in IAH...ie if you need 60 minutes to connect from I to D and the AUS flight leaves IAH at 1530, it will misconnect from FRA with the new forced 1500 arrival time.....
Naw, he just got rolled again. This was part of the Energy Bill of last year (which still didn't allow us to drill in ANWR). It gives tax breaks to Big Oil if they build refineries, but since has been used as a stick to beat the President over the head with.
