Bush -- "Come fly with me"

So Bush, floundering at the polls, make a pre-Thanksgiving attempt to get on the good side of the American people. He ordered the Pentagon to open unused military airspace from Florida to Maine to create "a Thanksgiving express lane" for commercial airliners from Wednesday through Sunday next week, for the busiest days of Thanksgiving travel.
While this make it look like he's doing something significant, this really accomplishes nothing.
For one, it doesn't reduce the number of planes at airports. There will still be as many or more than last year.
It also doesn't reduce the passengers. In fact, there will probably be more people wanting to fly.
And last, it doesn't add any hours to the day to give planes more time to fly.
The "express lane" only affects East Coast flights, not West Coast. So right away, a significant part of the country is excluded.
This is just another case of dumb Bush logic. A move that overall probably won't accomplish much if anything.
Kind of like that search for weapons of mass destruction.
