A Merging Fix is a #NextGen feature and is the point at which flights are compressed into a thin stream causing numerous passenger safety hazards due to increased likelihood of midair collisions. This feature also has the side effect of focusing jet noise into a tight band and direct observations have concluded that often this focused noise is dumped onto low income neighborhoods. #NextGen is a @SecretaryFoxx @US_DOT @FAANews program being implemented to increase airline profits at the financial and safety expense of the American people.
