IF there was no traffic, 17 would be faster, but there is
always traffic at DFW.

Even though the emergency status gives priority, it does not
create a magic wand that eliminates the traffic.


In the real sky, traffic is very generously separated, and it's easy to move
it, as there is plenty of empty sky available.
