Are you seriously suggesting that datalinking clearance to take off and land, or to reduce speed on final approach is your preferred solution? No..... I think not. Nor does it have a place in issuing emergency avoiding action to avoid a collision.

Datalink will have a valuable place in aviation, but not in a terminal control environment, which is what was being discussed here.

Try to engage brain rather than point score!
