Isn't that somewhat dependent on the definition of "...the runways we have
now"? The problem is easily addressed by abandoning the hub system that
overburdens a few locations and barely worked when demand was low.
Alternatively, add hubs to some of the underutlilzed airports. Of course,
the airlines would probably find this to be a threat to direct service to
locations of highest demand, but from a passenger's point of view, it's
becoming more difficult to get a flight direct to very many places anyway.
