Hey, thanks Yellow Snow, you just reminded me of something....
Reference the "closing a runway" bit of the show, didn't the controller say something about this would require even tighter spacing on final to get more a/c down on one runway.
Hmmmm, remind me, Single Runway Operation - 6 Mile spacing (or vortex of course *grin*). Good thing I can bandbox No. 2 then, isn't it. Seriously though, would we suspend departures and try and pack as many as possible?
I'll happily discuss the 40 holding senario. I guess it would degrade into some form of bidding situation "Right, who can hold for the longest and who for the shortest" while trying to establish which airports can take what. And during LVPS once, I had a United from the States in the hold at Bovingdon who was CAT 1 only, and diverted to Germany. So, there are other options. Any other thoughts?
Oh, and hope the power doesn't go off!
