The thing that really p****s me off is that our Ops people never thought it necessary to flow the traffic as part of the TOI,but also didn't put any requirements on the likes af Maastricht and Amsterdam to stream the traffic into the sector.
I know they were coming in bunches the other day and I heard that in excess of 100 extra headings were used in the course of a single,fairly quiet duty.
The whole procedure is not acceptable as it is and indeed barely workable.
