Sounded like the day to avoid CDC.
The whole area needs a CFMU a'la Brussels.The company then gets the slot and a CTOT is produced for ATC.It is then up to ATC to get that aircraft airborne in the slot.
The present system is one controller often inexperienced trying to figure out all this crap while 40 aircraft fume on frequency.You might have no delay but at number 35 you are going to have to wait until there is time to figure that out.It was a relic 30 years ago,and the CAD should be ashamed that this stone age ATC still exists.
