I heard CTMS was run for 34 arrivals an hour (cause they thought they could sneak in parallels (tried 16 and 34 I believe); actual arrivals were somewhere near 22 (on 25 only); so 12 too many each hour. Then when they tried to run it after 8am with the real rate accounted for it crashed and had to be done again; then they forgot to factor in those already in the air with 45+ mins holding; so everyone who was 'on time' got 45 airborne because that was what the queue already had.

When are we going to get real and use slot times?
