Last time it happened they sited slot times.
We only get slots when they can spare us some runway without interrupting RPT, which is a very small time frame in the middle of the day.
Its not like I was asking for a slot for fun.
I had a commercial purpose that required BN not AF.
Everyone gets holding in peak and we understand that. It would be nice if they at least try to accommodate everyone rather than laughing at my request and saying not a chance.
At the same time they are usually very accommodating and helpful when it comes to airwork in the zone.
