DVR deps from the TMA airfields funnel through a narrow piece of airspace, made worse a lot recently by CB156 French military use of airspace that infringes the airway.
Sensible tactical use of an MDI can avoid the need for a flow regulation by delaying a small number of departures, rather than giving everyone flying into the sector a CFMU slot delay. Less overall delay is a good thing, no?
Edited due to reply appearing grumpier than intended. Apologies.
