I had the same thought as you. The first one on the FAA’s cut list, Dothan, Alabama, is particularly costly. The city was set to announce a major new company coming to the city. This company, apparently a major aviation player, decided to hold off on the announcement (citing safety concerns) until the FAA list was finalized. I don’t know the number of new hires this company would have generated but apparently it was a considerable number. I’ve not read or heard reactions from city officials yet.
