If every major airport was like Denver, we would have a lot less problems.
Obviously, that is an unobtainable ideal, but we could do a whole lot
better than we are doing.


And all of that, and more, was ascertained at US government expense almost
six decades ago.


So why all this Next Gen BS as a supposed end to flight delays? ADS-B
Out will cost GA owners beaucoup and not benefit them and in my
opinion will have little benefit to commercial ops.

ADS-B saves the FAA money by shutting down expensive radar systems.

It won't do a thing for congested airspace. But, it will provide good
survellience in the mountain West and that will benefit a small
percentage of users.

The only real benefit is RNP, and true RNP with small numbers requires
$$$$$ equipment.
