Gul - I think you are missing the point - surely the aim is not to delay ANY traffic no matter where they are coming from or going to. Is it to much to ask that when Muckamore is quiet ie. 0800 - 2100 that a higher level if available is given? No-one expects unrealistic clearances in a busy environment however Duffy 3A to a jet smacks of pettiness, especially when the first contact is 160 climb F110 and there is no conflicting traffic to be seen.
Some AA controllers are very good and will only restrict when necessary - yet others seem to take great delight in trying to frustrate the expeditious departure of traffic from "them down the road"
Surely it makes for a better atmosphere at both units when there is a good working relationship between everyone as opposed to a few here and there?
