Oh, great. Yet another genius who thinks that working in Airline Ops makes them an expert on air traffic control systems.
It was quite apparent that ATS could not (there was also an element of would not) handle the available or planned traffic volume, therefore the airlines were stuck with an artificially limited ability to cater for the passenger traffic that wished to travel to Sydney.
What do you think flow control is? Mate, if you want to keep telling yourself that 10 aircraft can schedule themselves and then front up to an airport at the identical time and all land without delay, then knock yourself out. I'd just ask that you don't try and pass yourself off to others as knowledgeable when you quite clearly are not.

P.S. Ooooohhhhh. Swapping slots! Gee you really pulled the wool over their eyes there, champ. Because a flow REALLY CARES about the NAME of the aeroplane that's filling the slot.
