How is this ATCs fault? We are only able to control so many airplanes. They can only take off so fast. They can only land so fast. Far too often I hear the "ATC delay" when in reality it is caused by Airlines scheduling too many flights too close together in timing. Maybe we should all have airports like DFW with more runways than toilets and then take off/landing delays won't exist.
