Are you a Jersey Tower controller?

Hi Guys - just a quick question.

If a significantly faster a/c calls for push first, why do you then allow another a/c to push simultaneously thus reversing the order that the a/c arrive at the holding point for departure?

In this particular case both a/c were heading to the same destination. It must be infuriating for your collegues further down the line to have to keep passing speed and heading restrictions to the faster following aircraft in order to achieve separation. I know it was pretty frustrating for us in the following a/c.

Many thanks for any answers!

S.D.
