And you largely have these delays:

a. because of uncontrollable weather factors

b. because politicians, like with Social Security, have stolen the
money from fee based funds set aside to improve the system

c. have completely failed to build a modern GPS based ATC system


While you are right about everything else in your post and the guy calling
himself Jerry Lewis is a racist idiot, I think yu are wrong here. 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.



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.
