Er, not entirely a wind up L337.
Yes, perhaps for a different thread but... Very few jockeys visit the Centres and I think some might be suprised.
The final director at Heathrow has an r/t loading measured at over 90%. That isn't planning or co-ordinating, it is just talking to the traffic, the rest comes on top. The clever bit about the job is not what you say but when you say it and that requires control of the r/t. It is amazing how quickly the FD starts swearing under his breath when he cannot get in or has to repeat. Now, we could relax, if you like, but you will be landing after midnight.
The need to keep traffic tight is what is making final speeds an issue and that leads us back to runway redundancy.
