Pukindog, some very long posts on here. I’ve just got a couple of questions for you.

One of ATC’s primary roles is to issue accurate onward clearance/approach times or at least an accurate estimate of the delay (and an update to that as soon as possible after it’s changed) in order for pilots to adequately plan fuel.
Do you think SFO fulfilled that duty to DLH?

There are various ATCOs on here adamant that an extra 2/3 miles on the spacing was enough to accommodate DLHs requirements. Why do you think that would cause significant delays and ground stops for aircraft outside the sector? Or is the estimate of 2/3 miles wrong?
