Swings and roundabouts. Just accept you don't have the full picture and what happens happens.
Yep. Completely agree. The man upstairs knows more then me about the flow, the wake, the arrivals, the priorities, Essendon... I don't know why people tie themselves up in knots worrying about ATC. I'm sure they don't sit there worrying about how we should be doing our job.
My beef with Melbourne is not with controllers but with the ASA procedures. Not using 09, single runway ops when two runways are suitable, etc etc
Also, the world's slowest runway and taxiway works. How those high speeds were out of action for month after month just beggars belief.
