Looks like Melbourne ATC is at it again. Work to Rule, Industrial Action? Last night wind 140/12, cloud no factor, no use of runway 27= 30 min delay. Even when the ATIS wind changed to 160/12 still no utilisation of runway 27. When questioned ATC just said “not tonight”. This is ridiculous. Not only are the public impacted but also the pilots and cabin crew who deserve more time with their families at home. I bet the guys and gals in the tower sign off on time. I haven’t signed off once on time in the last month in Melb. Time to get the greenies involved and highlight the extra CO2 emissions MELBOURNE ATC or even AirServices Australia are responsible for? When the weather is sh&te no reasonable pilot should ever question ATC and delays, but when it’s good weather this BS has to stop.
