That's obviously open to interpretation... however the fact remains that TC does it with half the controllers - Both AC and MACC have their hands tied with the T&P requirement although some sectors, especially in AC when you are talking huge ranges are suited and need T&P, there are sectors at AC and MACC that could be run single controller. This lack of flexibility (in part because the Union insists on T&P) does not help out the manpower levels.
There are some tasks where a dedicated planner is needed - this was bourne out in the recent Central sim where one of the new TC Capital sectors prove unworkable without a dedicated co-ordinator, however there are other sectors around where insisting on T&P is a waste of resource.
