The Governor of Viriginia, Congress, the mayor of DC; all of these people want the airport and open now. Even the FAA wants to open the airport but not certain when it is "safe" to do so. Let's face it, it is most likely Bush not wanting the airport open because it is one a NIMBY issue- Not In My Back Yard. Everyone wants access to a highway but not by their house, etc.

Everyday DCA is closed you have less people working and are jeopordizing the well being of a good airline- USAir.
