Narrative:
Parachute jumping at owa conflicts with kaspr 2 arrival into msp. Concessions are made and we work around them as much as possible. However, the aircraft adds much complexity to an already busy arrival. This aircraft has not maintained the altitude he has agreed on or the position he has agreed on and that can compromise a sector.
