Airline exec supports rail over planes

Another irony. A day after we propose rail take over regional flights, we find an airline exec is urging it as well.
American Airlines ex-CEO Robert Crandall also supports high speed trains replacing planes for regional trips.

In a New York Times article last week, he called for "high-speed rail systems that would encourage the use of airports that are farther away from the cities they serve." 

His article got good reader support for his rail proposal as well, see this Letter.
