- throwbadubadu 3y agoNo, that's also not how it should work. Airports have a certain capacity, that's why you use slot allocations at crowded ones. You can say that day was so botched that they blew the one plane in fav of all the others, but that is not how it should work, telling a plane with an allocated slot you cannot even have a realistic estimate when we will fit you in.
- ShadowBanThis01 3y agoThe plane was hours late.
- db48x 3y agoYou’re not wrong, but don’t forget that they were three hours late. This is really why airports operate on a first–come first–served basis; someone is always late.
- throwbadubadu 3y agoAh ok thanks, did not get that at all.. then more understandable.

- kalleboo 3y agoIf it's first come, first served, then why didn't the other planes have to wait for their ILS landing
- quickthrower2 3y agoBecause they were not using ILS.

- jojobas 3y agoThat doesn't add up with far-out sequencing. As far as I understand all they needed to do was to move one plane down from the parallel pair and increase lateral spacing a tiny bit, all the way back while the plane in question was somewhere over Utah.
