This all begs the question though, if this is the case, why aren't the airlines protesting loudly against this? Are the pilots being restrained by their managers? Have the beancounters not realised this might end up burning even more fuel?
If the ATCOs don't like it, and the pilots don't like it, why is this still being brought in at more and more airports?
Obviously I may be wrong here, maybe most of my collegues do like these new systems, and maybe pilots do like them, but if so why don't you ever hear that?
It makes no sense
