slot delays and CDRs
Hi guys,
I have two separate questions here from an airline pilot's perspective.
The first is what exactly is a CDR route? What are they used for?
The second is about slot delays. Very often I am delayed on the ground at an airport for 1 hour or more due to ATC slot delays, I regularly ask ATC where this slot has been generated from, often times they will know and say for example 'Gatwick arrival slot' or something like that, but many times they don't know, but I believe there is some sort of ATC code for slots? I have heard before ATC giving another pilot the slot delay code and he worked out where the delay was caused by this code. Is it possible for any ATC guys to post the Slot Delay decode? If there is some sort of decode for it....?
Thanks guys.
