Uncommon Sense,
Why would an ATC be able to even vaguely answer your question?
I assume that Duff Man is ATC and he had not problem answering my question in an informative and succinct manner.
Bitching amongst ourselves just makes it worse.
No one is bitching amongst anyone. I even stressed at the end of the thread that I was not having a go at ATCers.
Duff Man,
From sitting in the pointy end, it is difficult to see how there are any savings to the industry. There are no worse delays in Sydney (IMHO) than this system.
Thanks for your explanation, it is much appreciated.
