Airlines, airports, and controllers all need to STOP with this Precision Scheduled Railroading cowboy-culture bullshit.

Airports: Slow down. Please.

The FAA needs to step in and slam the briefcase closed on the grubby hands of profit-maximizing airline investors.

Running more planes, more quickly, and more densely, will not make up for Boeing's problems.

Likewise, Boeing's got the same problem. Slow down. Hurry up and wait for fuck's sake.

You cannot optimize throughput any further without running the risk of inducing pipeline hazards.
The sawmill runs, it does not go any faster. The logs will jam, buck, and kill people.
The iron works are going to cobble.
America's airport traffic is going through congestive heart failure!

In other words: we run the risk of a serious accident occurring due to controllers being told to maximize throughput at the cost of safety, and when - not if - a serious accident happens, it will be an FAAFO moment for sure, for all involved.

in reply to @sirocyl's post:

Many of the comments seem to suggest this was a controller in training, which I can definitely see given how the dude who gives the takeoff clearance hesitates when speaking— as if trying to remember the exact verbiage he should be using.

I feel like this incident is less an instance of trying to run planes as fast as they can and more just a trainee mistake. He should not be controlling live planes just yet if he can’t even remember the verbiage, much less keep track of crossing clearances.
