Make the airlines fly VFR rules and flights will go on. They won’t be as fast or as many, but they will go on. Ground private planes until ATC is at full capacity. Air travel doesn’t have to stop; it simply has to limit capacity.

You know what I mean. Ground the small aircraft to make way for the airlines to fly VFR. Anyway, it was just an idea that will never be implemented.
