Occasionally, my friend Jerricho is correct!

Mixed mode would work for twenty minutes, and then you'd get the situation of nothing at the holding points because all the aircraft are in a massive traffic jam!

Lots of other reasons why mixed monde won't work, I'll list them all if you'd like! If you purely think of it in runway terms; presently we average 80-82 an hour. In mixed mode you'd be looking at something like 90-100.

I remain convinced that in mixed mode, our GMC capacity actually decreases.
