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.

Kinda like where everyone wants to go to the same restaurants on Friday
evening about
6:00PM?

Pretty much, but they have bouncers to control that

Or they build a bigger restaurant, or they figure a way to get people in and
out faster.

The FAA is running ATC about like they did 30 years ago (i.e., labor
intensive).
