Comment Icons (Score 1) 41

I haven't used macos in awhile, but their icons always seemed to be a bit amateurish or juvenile to me. It seemed like they were trying to make them cool and different but not quite pulling it off.

Fyi, I did the math. The US Government budget for the FAA is 26.8 billion. Flights per year is 16.4 million and 55% of those are passenger flights. It works out to 16.3k more per plane that would have to be made up. There is an average of 104 passengers per plane, so on average a passenger will need to make up $156.83 on their ticket. Keep in mind that a private company is going to want a profit margin of at least 10% so add that to the numbers.
