Another example was when Virgin America started out. I can remember sitting in line for 2 hours at JFK and Redwood taxis by. By allowing new entrants into the busiest airports at the busiest time of the day is just adding fuel to the fire for ATC delays.
This can be address not by limiting new entrants. But placing limits on what types of aircraft can operate out of high density airports. Maybe a 200 seat minimum of JFK?
