The Inspector General of the Department of Transportation has issued a report analyzing the problem of extended in-plane delays and stranded passengers, but the report makes no recommendations about how to ease the problem. Jeff Bailey’s report in the New York Times is here. We find it odd that the Secretary of Transportation has time to influence decisions at the EPA but is not out front on an issue directly within her baileywick.

President Bush has called for the Department of Transportation to “work with airline executives to reduce delays in the nation’s overcrowded airspaces,” according to Matthew Wald and Jeff Bailey’s article in the New York Times.
