Hi
Havent been on here for a while so sorry for the late response.
From July EDI are also going to be trialling this over the top reduction in flexibility. I am sure over the years we have had no runway incursions caused by conditional clearances so the trial will be proved a great success.
If pilots feel so strongly that this tool in an atcos bag of tricks is worthwhile can you complain to your attendee at our flight ops committee to raise it to our inept management types. They will probably ignore you however as this then will not justify someones role in the over bloated NSL safety department.
