Dubai ATC are working to the rules that they are given. When some of these rules don't make much sense it results in something of a shambles. Having to use LVP's when it's only a CAT 1 approach. Having UAE centre based in AUH, when Dubai probably has triple the heavy heavy traffic than the rest of the UAE put together. Having minimum radar seperation altered without consulting what the controllers want. Having three controllers suspended at the same time for minor infringements of these 'modified' proceedures. etc etc. Yep, it's a balls-up at busy/foggy times, but it's not really the controllers fault. If enough of us put it on paper, maybe something will happen. The added fuel bill will probaly be more effective at forcing change though.
