112The following proposal was raised at a meeting of the Franklin City Council.
"Franklin Airport, which is on a bay, is notorious for flight delays. The airport management wants to build new runways to increase capacity but can only do so by filling in 900 acres of the bay. The Bay Coalition organization objects that filling in the bay will disrupt tidal patterns and harm wildlife. But the airport says that if it is permitted to build its new runways, it will fund the restoration of 1,000 acres of wetlands in areas of the bay that have previously been damaged by industrialization. This plan should be adopted, for it is necessary to reduce the flight delays, and the wetlands restoration part of the plan ensures that the bay's environment will actually be helped rather than hurt."
This argument is established on a sound starting point, notwithstanding, hardly could it get the final conclusion through the means suggested by the author since it contains following flaws. It overlooked other possibilities which lead the flight delay in Franklin Airport. Moreover, whether the fund can do indeed reserve the local environment is open to question. These flaws undermine its final conclusion.
Does all of causes of flight delay in Frainkin Airport should ascribe to lacking runways? Obviously, that is not the case. Amount of alternative reasons, which included hardware and software condition in the airport, can contribute to this terrible consequence. Franklin Airport’s current hardware condition should be examined at first. Whether the waiting room is big enough to available every passenger waiting there in order to board on in time? If not, the plan has to wait for the passengers, thus taking off lately. In addition, whether the check-in service is convent to go through for passengers and the equipments are working in good condition with top efficiency? If not, it is possible in large degree that passengers cannot board on in time, and hamper the flight’s taking off. What’s more, some software conditions, which also can affect the efficiency of airport, should be examined undoubtedly. Such as, the proficiency of related skills of Franklin Airport’s worker. Ground crew need to check the plan carefully and thoroughly before it can take-off, if they do not receive necessary training regularly in certain time, their tradition skills will lag the speed of their work, so as delay the plan’s take-off. Even, it is logical that the airport may employed many new workers, who have not enough experience, so they cannot accomplish the work in time and have to let passengers wait. These alternative possibilities are soundly to see as elements which lead to the delay of the flight, therefore, without an all-rounded and thoroughly examination about the causes of the delay, the author’s suggestion seems lack consideration and towarding a wrong direction.
How long has this bad reputation sustained in Franklin Airport? How about these times’ weather condition? As we know, whether flight can take-off according to planned schedule depend largely upon the weather condition in that very time. Maybe latest month Franklin city is suffering harsh weather and it is impossible for its planes to take-off on time. Thus, if this horrible delay problem just emerged in latest months, when during bad weather condition, it is illogical to blame the Franklin Airport. If this is the case, the author’s conclusion is unnecessary and nonsense.
Even as the flight delay actually because of lacking runways, the plan cannot be supported since it will crate serious environmental problem which cannot be alleviate by the so-called fund. The distribution of tidal patterns will yield a great mount of serious environmental problems, although the Franklin Airport promises that they will fund restoration the industry damaged wetland, this behavior cannot avoid the detrimental affects post on the bay’s environment of the plan. Firstly, tidal patterns influence or even decides amounts of wildlife’s’ living rule, such as regular behavior, prey habit. If the pattern was changed, these animal might confront the danger of disorder of life and might cannot find food as usual. As the break of ecological circle, local environment would be harmed in a great degree. What’s more, the plan derivate the only habitat in which various wild animals relied on survival, and if the plan be carried out, these related wildlife would have to move to other places and leave bad influence to local environment. However, the Franklin Airport’s fund which used in the industries damaged wetland, survey it will do good to local environment, cannot resolve above problems. Since these two places belongs to different type of land and the wetland cannot serve as suitable dwelling for that wildlife’s. Therefore, the conclusion of the plan can help local environment is ridiculous.
After all, the plan is aiming at improving effeciency of Franklin Airport, this propose seems logical and sound. However, the author should make a thorough survey to discover the central fault which breed the delay of flight before making a plan. At the same time, providing an alternative solution, which is truly effective, towarding the consequent environmental disaster on the bay is necessary. |
