As it happens, as a pilot, I filed an excessive RT loading MOR against LACC S25 on Tuesday afternoon. The sector was running 'bandboxed' with S26 and the loading was FAR too high in my opinion.
If you feel the same, then file an MOR on it, please do. Often controllers file 'overload' reports, only for the investigation to conclude that an overload didn't exist purely because the sector flow rate was not exceeded.
If we as pilots file when we feel the traffic loading on a controller has been too high, then we support their case (in my opinion).
My issue was that at 3pm in the afternoon we shouldn't have central London sectors bandboxed!! I had NO CTOT though on my route through the sector, but RT loading within it was excessive, with non stop transmission.
I await the formal response of course, and don't wish to prjudice its findings, but:-
1. Why was the sector bandboxed? Staff shortage?? If so, then why no proper flow on the sectors.
2. If staff available, then why was the LAS allowing the sectors to run together.
Personally I suspect the first, but remain open-minded.......

ps. I have come close to filing one on COWLY/WELIN also. This is bandboxed FAR too often with high RT loading!!!!
