Yes, it probably is the time the SIDs, STARs etc were looked at. The current TMA procedures were introduced in the early 90s and had not been significantly changed since the Talla sector 'split' was introduced a couple of months back. This has resulted in an increase in sector capacity for the few hours that the sector can be split each day. Whether 38/60 instead of 32/60 will significantly reduce delays remains to be seen but at if the increase in traffic continues at the same rate as it has I can see it being only a short term solution.

The Galloway sector hasn't been changed at all and remains at 42/60. That is not sufficient to allow free flow first thing in the morning so it will certainly need looking at. We can only hope that we get proper resectorisation this time rather than the half-arsed sectorisation we suffered with Talla.

The worrying thing is that on the floor plans for NPC I only saw one Galloway sector
