The delays are caused because all the airlines want to fly at the same time from the same places. The above just adds to your problems. Kinda like where everyone wants to go to the same restaurants on Friday evening about 6:00PM? Pretty much, but they have bouncers to control that |

Yes, that is the short tem problem alright, but significant capacity would be added to the system if they had a GPC ATC system. The FAA has failed to produce this for years and already failed miserably on one try with a billion + loss. With the same amount of flights with such a system, delays wouldn't be a problem. There ya go blaming the racist KKK again. Never challenge a minority and their competence or they will call you racist and hide behind blaming whitey.(See Al Sharpton race extortion academy) GPS is pie in the sky. A minuscule single threaded signal from space that can be jammed with $200 worth of radio shack parts. So in your feeble brain you will hang all your FAA navigation systems on a weak and easily jammed technology huh? I don't care what you do if you 1. Don't put more concrete on the ground 2. Hire competent FAA Managers 3. Work with rather than **** off all the controllers and technicians You will still get record delays "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies(FAA Civil Rights and EEO empires). The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ---C.S. Lewis By the way, while the FAA does pay for this... https://employees.faa.gov/employee_s...ions_programs/ They are CUTTING controllers and technicians. And you think spending money on minority and female social programs is better money spent than controllers and technicians? Poor *******. You are so clueless. But I guess it makes you feel better calling me racist and avoiding the accountability and problem of incompetent minorities. Typical Why don't you go to this site and you will see the FAA is a mess.

All the space based ATC in the world isn't going to add gates and runways at the major airports. The answer to the problem is simple. Charge more for taking off from JFK at 8:00am than you do at 2:00am. |

Charge more for taking off from JFK at 8:00am than you do at 2:00am. Gates can be a problem sometime but not runways. The GPS system would handle about 25% more flights on the same runways. Aren't you paying enough all ready for flights? Want to pay more when the politicos are stealing what money is already being paid for? |

The FAA is running ATC about like they did 30 years ago (i.e., labor intensive). |

About 25% more. |

About 25% more. Not if the FAA ****es off all the controllers and runs them off!! GPS is useless without controllers The FAA is ****ing off all their controllers so GPS don't mean **** in the big picture. |
