I know, I look at some of our departures out of Cpt and just shake my head sometimes. If you're flying the full Okted departure and route to FAEL off rwy01 there are something like 14 turns on it. You cross the GE inbound tfc atleast twice. Whoever came up with that should be shot!!!!
It's tfc unfriendly, pilot unfriendly and atc unfriendly. It adds about 40 nm to the route.
I'm not sure who is in charge of airspace efficiency/defficiency but a quick phonecall to Isando would put you in touch with the correct person.
We are moving away from straight in approaches and towards STARS that join downwinds for sequencing reasons. It's much easier to position a/c from downwind into position more efficiently.
As for more sectors, I wouldn't hold my breath, not until ATNS can get staffing levels required.
