Private Jets and today's near miss at Midway [View all]

Private jet use increased 30% in 2021 and 20% in 2022. The US has 2/3 of the world’s private jets. Is this simply far too many for our airports and air traffic controllers to handle? I don’t want a couple hundred people to die because some billionaire asshole had to go on a business golf trip! Is it time to rein this in.
