Yes - the sun did rise in the East - yet bloody again - but at 04:20!
The only difference I saw yesterday was that instead of guessing who the VFR aircraft were and what their intentions were around the inbound high speed aircraft on descent - I knew. Nobody got knocked back a clearance around my neck of the woods - in fact they probably saved time and fuel by getting a direct routing across all the inbound STAR routes instead of avoiding the C Airspace.
If it is costing anbody money at the moment it is the airlnes that relied on Jeppesson to have the plates and maps out on time. They didn't manage to do it - so their is some pain being shared around at there:
