Departures!!! OMG!!! You want to depart as well?!?!?! That's a novel idea.... try squeezing a few departures into those 3nm gaps... in a single runway operation that doesn't happen chaps!!

Whilst APP is "doing that controller sh!t" and squeezing all those arrivals into NZAA, spare a thought for the twr controller trying to play the other half of the game, 'cos sure as eggs are scrambled not too long after you're in that arrival queue, you'll appear in the departures queue and probably moan about delays on departure!! Not to mention the GND dude playing parking attendant and running out of places to put all those arrivals 'cos their gates are occupied!

Big picture guys!!
