Not a most complex unit thread at all. Simply saying that those above who think that the system will work at LL because it does elsewhere are sadly mistaken. Also the fact that the system still has bugs is not really acceptable. The training dept at LL are doing their best to resolve this but can you really train on a system that is likely to change during the run up to O Date of the NVCR?
Whilst I appreciate that personal workload will possibly reduce at LHR stripbay congestion is a real issue. EFPS and its scrolling windows will add to that problem surely? Flow control will not have an effect on this. Regularly GMC2 has more than a bay of strips due to aircraft unable to park. Holding back startups does not help the situation as more often than not the next landers are waiting for gates which are occupied. EFPS cannot solve these issues we have and managers (not GM or MATC) saying that EFPS will make the operation more effiecient are in cloud cuckoo land!
