I agree, but the airport company and major airlines would make far more money if the controllers made decisions to allow this. Such as sending g/a a/c around to expedite commercial use. I am well aware of all the safety aspects surrounding such circumstances, but some controllers will put g/a a/c as priority and in a commercial aviation world they cannot be put as priority against a commercial airliner. Vortex is bo**ocks, and does not enter the scenario if you are clever enough. If the departing a/c rotates before 28 then yes another orbit if not then no problem I agree with safety first but to hold two commercial flights for the sake of a cessna doing a touch and go is ridiculous
