I'm sure I've mentioned this before, I think...
Early morning flight, probably most daytime flights too, show decent
amounts of traffic heading for Heathrow. The same applies to Schiphol
but there's a significant difference. Schiphol ATC seats are nearly
always manned. Heathrow is seldom manned, though others with no traffic
may be.
Perhaps the Dutch IVAO controller group have arranged a roster.
Whatever, if I look at Servinfo, the difference between the two is quite
dramatic.
Is it that a few of the qualified controllers have Heathrow ring fenced,
so that they can get in when convenient?
It doesn't affect me, since I rarely head for EGLL, just that it seems
an excellent opportunity for controllers to get traffic is being wasted.
I guess the pilots may feel they are being short changed?
