So we have a Monopolistic corporation with no accountability and that can unilaterly set fees and be obstructionist. The Airport Authority should be serving the needs of the city. An the elected representitives of the City want to pay for a tunnel therefore the AA should allow them to build that tunnel.

What also bugs me is the airport improvement fees that are again unilaterally set with little oversight and accountability
Completely agree with this except that they really aren't accountable to the feds either. Their obligation is to pay the lease, that's it. Airport authorities in their current form are a disaster, and the minister who oversaw it in the 80's had admitted it.
