PMS.. presumably you're not in the UK? At our major airports we're hogtied with noise abatement which means the SIDs also have a minimum noise route incorporated and aircraft have to stay with that until several minutes after take off (is it until passing 4000 or 6000 ft??? I can't remember). If all this was ditched UK controllers could "fan" departures and shift more traffic.
