Isn't that the philosophy of NASA's Free Flight concept?

Most people are only comfortable flying along with a herd. Try
diverting the typical 737 load into the requisite 30 Bonanzas and hear
the howls on the tarmac --" I have to fly in THAT!?"

You'll have to explain that to Dudley.

It sounds good, but I think it's an unrealistic expectation.

The fact that the 1994 prediction was for Free Flight to be
implemented by 2001 seems to support that opinion.
