Why not do the exact same thing - follow the airways and make

Because that would NOT make their lives easier (due to congestion on the

Where did you hear that this was a serious problem (for spam cans)?

sees a /G can issue a direct clearance as a "decongestant".

Why do you think the terminal areas on the East Coast are pushing RNAV
