Hey bloggsy, I normally agree with you but not on this one.
we have been coming for 14-15 hrs and the times are available on the cpdlc so it shouldn’t come as a huge shock that we are going to be there at a particular time. If anyone wants to bleat about them being given 2nd place to a long range international stiff ****, the vast majority of traffic is domestic so a few long range internationals isn’t going to screw the system too badly.
that said, get rid of separation assurance and move more traffic and we would all be fine. The 80 am hr cap would then be the biggest drama for Sydney.
