They certainly need to eliminate the Second Segment Climb obstacle clearance problem on 24 departures if they possibly can. This morning the wind was 24009kt thus precluding a 06 departure, although with a temp of only 22C it's a little surprising any offload was necessary. I still feel that a 15deg slew on climb out, as is available at SOU, would be the better bet than trying to crop the offending trees as this problem seems to occur more frequently than is satisfactory and is without resolution so far.
