"I Don't know why people keep talking about the airport and not the real issue.
the airport is fine if you know your s**t you can fly there no problems. but it seems like every one wants ATC to do the job for them while they sit there pressing the buttons."
If your theory is correct there would be no need to invest in any airport or airplane infrastructure, just leave all airports and ATC in Third World crap status and hire astronaut pilots that can do the job.
