...question, and even if it were, to impose the solution by the fait accompli of a sit-in decided by one group of students is not a method acceptable to nay self-respecting Faculty: A rule cannot be changed through its coercive violation.

Some hard bargaining will have to take place since the FAA order will force the airlines to make schedule reductions of some sort, like it or not. Moreover, since every landing and takeoff has to be reserved in advance, the FAA rules may cut into Eastern Air Lines' popular Washington-New York shuttle service. It accommodated 3.3 million passengers last year, on the premise that if scheduled shuttle planes...
