You have missed the point. I am not saying I can't handle 10 departures in 30 minutes, my point is that it has gone from 2 or 3 departures prior to 6am to 10 or more, where is it going to stop. Anyone can see that with 50-60 aircraft wanting to depart within 2 hours, some aircraft are going to be delayed.
BTW 10 departures in 30 minutes does not mean one every 3 minutes, it would be wonderful if the world worked that way, I'm not sure of the exact spread because I was too busy working.
Icarus, there are right turns for the jets off 21 to GEL, MRW and POMOT as well as the UAE flight.
It's good that there is an understanding that single runway hurts us as much as its hurts the pilots, especially single runway in IMC!
