I personally think the economy will decide how busy our airspace is...to a degree. With the rising cost in fuel / avgas the ripple effect is making itself known very well. I also do not think the FAA will be able to force GA aircraft to be retrofitted with these devices, as great as they are. I think ground ops at major airports need total revamping. I like the formation departure idea Kent. "American 1212 heavy - American 2565 - Southwest 3340 winds 215 @5 cleared for takeoff runway 24". I hope I live to see the day when ATP's need a formation signoff!!! Thanks Kent

Yep, we're just thinking outside the box, James! Not to mention it'd be so much more fun.
