The City Council last week passed a ban of the largest and fastest jets that operate out of the Santa Monica Airport. The Federal Aviation Administration has vowed to challenge the ruling.

So this week’s Q-Line question asks: Do you think the city should stand its ground and take the FAA on or do you believe the city should seek a compromise?

Call (310) 285-8106 before Friday at 5 p.m. and we’ll print your answers in the weekend edition of the Daily Press. Please limit responses to a minute or less.
