That makes sense to me. However, who has the authority to implement
it? The FAA? The airport owners? Do you think there might be a
backlash from the flying public?

I had similar thoughts. Of course the flying public would hew and cry
over higher ticket prices.


What higher prices. You could end up paying less or more depending when you
fly.


What if ATC started diverting flights to reliever airports during
peak hours at hubs? Isn't that the reason relievers exist?

Good idea, but the major question with this is whether the relievers
can handle the traffic we need to offload - not to mention adequate
ground transportation to handle the added influx of passengers.

But if the planes are taking you where you contracted to be taken when you
buy your ticket then the airline is going to have to pay.
