appreciate the feedback....
Truth is with the levels of traffic we are witnessing now in this region and in in the case of UAE, the days of ol have gone where we could always get the OMSJ or other UAE bound traffic in without delay. It has become far to hazardous on occasions to run them through or north of the stacks so they have to join the queue to ensure a safe arrival flow.
I don't think some of the operators in this region have the big picture when it comes to the capacity problems being faced in the ATC environment. The restrictions and shortfalls are often not the line controllers doing and they do the best they can with a bad situation.
With the unprecedented growth this region has experienced and with very little prior planning by the authorities to accommodate the growth, the reality is we are over extended and constantly trying to play catchup.
As horrible as it is to say (as unfortunately the welfare and careers of many have been affected) the economic downturn could be our saving grace to try and get on top of this whole palaver!!
