I don’t disagree with your numbers, the amount of aircraft you can fit, nor the sectors you control. Simply put and as I said above, we don’t get this amount, or frequency of delay into Sydney as Melbourne does.
Whether you apply feeder fix times or controlled descent speeds into SY is irrelevant to this. I didnt imply anything to the contrary.
How do I know this? Because I fly it most days as much as you control it.

You appear to get very defensive of any critique to this sequencing. As I said before I’m not having a shot at you personally, but as above, there is something unique (and ordinary) about the sequencing into Melbourne that appears to incur additional delay.

I have often wondered how the maestro holding gets worked out and is there any feedback to anyone further down the line (ie. from
the tower) as to how it worked out! No sh!t stirring, Genuine question.
