One last thing. Here you can read about continuous descent tech from NASA: https://www.aviationsystemsdivision.arc.nasa.gov/research/tactical/eda.shtml …

Much of this technology is developed by private industry with support from NASA and the FAA. Private industry is benefitting already.

So,I agree, despite being clueless about ATC/aerospace but: why are major airlines on board then? Simple control/power issue?
