There's no kinks to be worked out. The infrastructure can't handle what's being asked of it at many of these airports. Unless the number of flights at certain times are reduced, there will continue to be problems. Also, the seconds aircraft go down for maintenance or if there's any kind of weather or ATC delay, the whole operation at any given hub will devolve into a complete cluster. This is what schedule banking is all about.
