However how often is the capacity declared at say 36 and the flow person comes over and asks if you can squeeze 1 more in to save a guy getting a 3 hour delay?
Ummm - never?

The sector capacity is there for a reason. If it gets exceeded it'll be an accident - not because the TTC guy feels like squeezing an extra one in to save a delay. Delays are mitigated / minimised by use of sector capping and other dark arts. You really are showing your expert knowledge
