I understand the outbound situation with taxi fuel and trying to get departures away.That's why I will always get gaps and the delays are reduced as much as possible.However why do all the companies depart at the same time,when the fixed wings are departing (on slot times).This also clashes with an inbound rush, and simple maths means delays for someone.Also there are strict rules about how we sectorise the runway.
However the noticeable change is some getting really A
sy about even the slightest hold in SVFR.It just seems that some want no delay out,and the flip side no delay in ,when SVFR in Mats part 1 is lower priority over IFR.
When asked what the delay is for SVFR,when I'm really busy,I often cannot answer that question.This often can get into a call the Watch Manager situation,because I'm entitled to say less than 20 minutes is no delay.
It just seems to be happening a lot more recently.
