What clogs the system is a small group of pilots who spam the system with every possible perceived issue without taking the time to make sure they have a reasonable claim. As applies to so many things 5% of the pilots generate 95% of the workload. The pilot who has a real issue gets hurt time wise as a result.
outside of an IROP, this is a very accurate statement. That being said, i encourage all pilots to fill out the form about reroutes if they are unsure...I have no problems researching legal reroutes. We do however have a hand full of pilots that will fill out the form constantly just fishing for things.
