“asserted benefits of the statute are in fact illusory.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Because of the advertisement and public announcement of flights, maintenance of these allocations is crucial to the continued functioning of their enterprise. A license such as these allocations, which is not the subject of an absolute entitlement but which nevertheless becomes 'essential in pursuit of a livelihood,' is 'not to be taken away without that procedural due process required by the Fourteenth Amendment.'”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“In Bell , the Court held that the revocation of a license for cause could not occur before notice and a meaningful hearing was provided. See 402 U.S. at 541-42 , 91 S.Ct. at 1590-91. Leave to land one’s planes at the airport is similarly a property interest closely associated with the pursuit of a livelihood; therefore, due process also requires notice and a hearing before flight allocations can be revoked.”
