How tight is your slot?
Hi all,
Just out of curiosity, would anyone be able to shed some light on the slot issues at EGCC and EHAM? For whatever reason, the last few days have been a nightmare with regard to getting dep slots out of CC for the shuttle accross the North Sea.
Just one example, the very first flight of the day yesterday morning from CC to Schiphol was about an hour late due to this problem, even though the aircraft had been parked on the tarmac all night. Is Mother Nature causing havoc at the moment down in the lowlands?
There's nothing like Biz Pax who have onward connections.
Cheers,
HS

Niteflite,
Cheers for the info. I thought it would have something to do with the other end, as all the other flights seemed to be having no issues, and were even getting early airborne slots. Lets hope the situation improves soon.
Sorry to the others for any confusion/offence; the attempt at a funny subject title failing somewhat.
