Please explain the value of using 24 when it crosses 21, costs more in fuel to taxi-to compared to using 21 to the west,
Come on, you know it would work. The departing aircraft taking off on 21 rolls past the intersection and the one ALREADY lined up and WAITING on 24 can blast off. Diverging tracks. The 21 departure ideally is a left turn and 24 is the right turn. Arranged that way on clearance receipt.
costs more in fuel to taxi-to compared to using 21 to the west, and half the jets departing turn right off 21 anyway?
What more fuel than waiting 8-15 minutes in line? Yeah sure.
Do the Northbound jets ALWAYS NEED to turn right? Some imagination is needed here. Not your rigid military type approach It is doable.

Most of your points have been shot down.
Let me know which ones YOU THINK have been shot down and those with a chance, in your obviously perfect knowledge of the world. Just because the people at the table convinced you it cannot work does not make YOU or THEM correct does it?

And yes I have sat in the tower in the last couple of years and plugged in at the bunker to watch an arrival sequence. It is pretty obvious as stated above that the ATCOs do their best with one arm tied behind their backs.

Listen to the people who make it work overseas, everyday, it can be different but someone has to WANT it to change. WAC/PAP don't care and AsA are dysfunctional, that leaves the operators to band together. Yeah right, what fun RAPAC meetings are.
