My point was, it doesn't matter how far away you are, me and all my F@kker mates haven't even departed yet. When we pop up at the same distance to Perth as you, something's got to give. There's no point in sequencing further out because any closer-in departures will mess the whole string up.
As for blaming a system for my inadequacies, I don’t really think I did that either - can you re-read my post and perhaps clarify where I got you all hot and bothered?
You were having a crack at our "unique" Feeder Fix time system and how your "FMS" was 3-4 minutes out all the time and why didn't ATC just give us speeds to fly. I don't agree. The pilots can do it (some better than others), why just sit there looking out the window?
