Completely ridiculous. The problem is the runways are at capacity GIVEN the ATC system/paths being used. Change the path to shorten the paths and you increase capacity. Got that yet? How do you change arrival and departure paths without moving runways? MLS is a dead letter now and GPS isn't precise enough to provide ILS-equivalent landing capability, so you're stuck with straight-in approaches, aligned with runways. Oh, so a long experience pilot with a major carrier who uses these systems every day doesn't know what he's talking about but you do huh? Possibly. Pilots know how to fly planes, but they don't have to know how planes work. In the old days, before computers did most of the dirty work, planes had flight engineers, who _did_ know how the planes worked. Today, a computer handles most things. In both cases, the pilots didn't have to know, and it would have been quite an extra burden on them to try to train them, anyway. You don't have to know how a FMS works in order to use one. |
