From my humble experiences, it seems as if there is not equitable treatment when handing out the flow control. Any insight out there in the process that is utilized to determine who gets what and for how long? I know that there are numerous dispatchers that read this forum and they may be able to answer these questions with more authority. Definitely impact FL's numbers due to follow on flights that are delayed due to incoming aircraft. I would like to have a more concrete explanation to give to the customer waiting for 315 to depart CLT other than TRACON issues the flow control based upon inbound aircraft and their departure location and ETA.... Is 96.55% of the time fair and equitable treatment?
August was a bad month for FL in Atlanta as well as a lot of other carriers but flow control accounted for 24.23% of our delays into Atlanta and 10.54% or our delays were due to aircraft arriving late.
I had posted this on the Majors board and was told that there was a new Dispatch section. Could anyone please shed some light on this situation? There are other flights that leave CLT +/- 1 hour of flight 315 that are not listed as being late >95% of the time. CLT is within Atlanta's sector.... does that make it easier to impose a delay versus a departure airport elsewhere due to less coordination requirements? Does FL's dispatch have any say in what flights are delayed? What kind of horse trading goes on between ATC, and various airline dispatchers? I just want to be able to speak with a greater level of understanding when speaking with frustrated customers.
