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?

What makes you think that GPS could decrease the needed separation?

Because that is exactly what it is designed to do?


I didn't say anything about paying more. What I suggested in this forum a
month or so ago was the same net cost just make it cheaper off peak and more
expensive on-peak. That's how economics should work. Things should cost more
when they are in higher demand and less when they are in lower demand.



Well, I didn't see your post then so I can't comment
