If you want to do 3 miles North following South then the APP guy has to play it smarter and keep verts and close behind i.e. 4-5 miles before handing to Director given that you're gunna lose a mile crossing the Loc.
Seems like the workload pendulum has swung the other way now with some APP guys not doing enough to set up FAD in the most efficient way. Then again, maybe they don't give a stuff about the movement rate like me either.
