on the procedure. Over all , United was satisfied with the Cl eveland side of the procedures. We conducted industry week and offered all of the users of the two major airports to simulate and evaluate our proposed design. The c arriers were given 5 and a half weeks to run their tests on our product. UAL couple of change requests but overall happy. Southwest wanted to design from the runway out and look/des ign the details of every procedure . Southwest only attended two days in the 9 months that we were designing. Delta had two representatives and they seemed to contradict each other on many issues that our Delta lead c arrier representative had worked with us . Delta lead still worried about heavies on the SID and not making the altitude restrictions. Data shared showed that 12 aircraft last year didn't make the restriction on climb , out of whi ch 5 were unusual midnight ops. The big kicker is that the other Del ta representative stated that they would prefer vector to SIDs or open SIDs. The ir company has been working with us since 2014 on RNAV off the ground SIDs and has not given us any indication of this request. This may have come from several side bars that he had with the Southwest representative. Still working on the Selfridge airspace issue with the National Guard and service area. Large chunk of airspace to move from ZOB to MTC in April 2017. TBFM testing in the TTL is still on hold waiting action from Atla ntic City and Headquarters. May conduct TBFM HITLs in MITRE to reduce th e delay time of implementation.
