My use of 'gutter' language was in no way implied towards you, just my way of expression my emotion towards a dated system.
Your useage of your 'NOT's' however are directed towards me and I deem them offensive.....we are all entitled to our opinions!
Back to the plot, what I am simply trying to get across is this:
IN THE VERY SIMPLEST OF TERMS.......Heathrow can land x number of planes every hour, rush hour or no rush hour, so why aren't x number of planes scheduled at all times to prevent these holds?
If 30 planes can be landed per hour, and 40 pitch up between 0600 and 0700 that means everything i/b is holding for the next few hours. Just hold them at their origin 30 mins longer???
A quick count on flightradar.com has given me 13 a/c currently in 'the stack' at 1545 on a Saturday afternoon......
I just don't understand why this occurs.....???
