Volare
If you are correct in saying that 60 secs is in any way considered to be okay then I say that is totally unacceptable. If it has been permitted in order to increase the sector's capacity, then doubley so.
I keep hearing politicians and ATC managers saying to the public that safety is paramount. If these are the limits in use it clearly isn't. And let's not kid ourselves that it couldn't happen in the UK. I regularly (daily) see people pointing traffic at each other on the basis that they are going to something about it before it gets critical.
"I have always done it like that and not had a problem so far" is the answer I usually get. Folly. Communications can never be guaranteed.
NOW perhaps things will change.
