Re "how much more busy is EDI?", figs for Sept show an average of 42 additional ATMs per day compared to Glasgow.
On the question of spacing on final, obviously some controllers cut it finer than others and there are times when I've sat at D1 looking at a distant landing light and wondering when I'm going to get line-up clearance but on the other hand there have also been many times when I've been given 'cleared immediate' and had to go like the clappers with someone bearing down on me - and it's great when that works because everyone's happy.
A plea from the little guys though: I hope you don't tighten the spacing up so much that you can't get the VFRs in or out.
Dare I suggest 12/30 with displaced thresholds a la Norwich 04/22?
