Standard speeds,
I have to agree with foo fighting on the subject of fast climbing BB departures. While it is very noble of you to be working so hard, there are a couple of things that should be remembered:
1) That fact that there is no telephone line to P12 from the welin position makes the whole process even more drawn out and to me suggests that this is something that is not Midlands responsibility.
and
2) Correct me if I'm wrong but each LACC position has a dedicated planner whose sole job is to co-ordinated the passage of traffic though his airspace. He's got far more capacity and is in a far better position to make those phone calls than you. Especially as most of the time both Midlands and East will running without a co-ordinator (it's not just Nerc that's short of staff)
So come on sector 28 lets see you take some more of the BB's.
