Unless he can sh$t some runways really fast, I don't think this will help.. I could be wrong though

Yes; reducing traffic or adding gates and increasing the active runways are the only real ways to reduce delays. I don't think they understand that more routes are useless without additional runways, I’m taking about runways that can be used during poor Wx (multiple instrument approaches) and when their on the ground where are you going to park them? All you're doing is increasing the controllers work load when it comes to merging traffic on the arrivals, traffic that is already bunched up as close as they legally can be.
