direct.no.speed/Blockla - Jim Shoos has a point though. The cause of the delays are out of our hands, but how we deal with them isn't.
Departed to allow us to arrive at PTL +/- a couple of minutes. RWY 21 WX Severe fine. and still coped 20 mins slow down.
We can't blame that on the NOC or WAC or the airlines, that is an ATC problem. If we don't have the willpower/resources/ability to enforce the PTL system, then it should be withdrawn.
kimberleyEx - I think the people running WAC know all they need to know i.e Gatwick has competition, PH doesn't. WAC does not exist to provide a service, it exists to make money.
Monopole - what I was getting at was that collectively, the airlines schedule their ops on the assumption that RWY space is infinite. Maybe it would be worth putting a rider on the schedules like "Between #### and #### arrivals in to Perth may experience delays up to one hour due airport capacity shortfall" and see how the WAC like it!
