slot congestion and the real world

Thanks to 2012 FAA data, i did some research concerning the three biggest USA airports.

The result is showing the daily number of flights for several aircraft types by seating

additionally you will see the amount of free slots, if the AS slot rules would apply to these airports.

comparing these data to the real thing going on within AS, from my point of view, AS doesn't need slot rules, but some other updates.

AS demand is based on real world route pairs, but is adjusted (upwards) for playability purpose. You cannot compare apples and oranges.
