Cool

Of course, if the South East of England had a few more runways at major airports nobody would have heard of "holding".

As usual, because politicians are incapable of making decisions, a problem is created and a scapegoat is sought. Then a whole new industry of statisticians and consultants are needed to explain how not to solve the problem. Meanwhile, blame the controllers for the problem.

You could give Heathrow another 2 (independent) runways and there would still be holding to ensure that all runways had maximum capacity all day.

But I will fully agree that the political decisions have a smell of very slopey shoulders all over them.

Yes, in fact it's a bit worrying to think that not all professionals understand that relationship.
