Theres lots of published services that cannot be offered. 01L/R have published approaches, try getting it when the 28s are for landing, 01s departures.
I can see why this thread is going round in circles.
It’s one aircraft. They didn’t request the other runway.
Why is it reasonable for you to extrapolate to all aircraft and halve the acceptance rate?
Why is it reasonable for you to compare it with a runway switch that they didn’t ask for?
