damned right.
They all need a sound thrashing in my book ..........
especially those london area chaps - not so much as a 'please' or 'thank you' verbal diahorrea (spelling) if you ask me. If I want to be vectored round another aircraft I'll bl**dy well ask for it. why else did they give us those TCAS thingies eh ??? to help us save the day (again) when you girlies get too busy doing you nails or playing noughts and crosses with the chap on the screen next to you.... didn't hear of the CAA considering giving you mini-control columns next to your desk so you could take over from us!! did you ?? eh ?? thought not.
well I've got news for you ATCO girlies if you want a real mans job then come spend a day with me 'soaring' through the skies round europe......... again and again.......sometimes 6 times a day on the same route........wearing the same uniform I got 5 years ago........(that still makes me look like a hotel porter.)
the glamour in the cabin may have gone but the birds now-a-days are good in a scrap and know what real tattoos should look like.
The staff travel, food, perks and lifestyle were all over-rated anyway. strap me in, pay me less that I made 5 years ago and let me fly chav's round all day for 900 hours a year and I'll show you nothing but gratitude because I'm a mans man, an airline pilot and I DEMAND the respect I deserve damn it.
If you ASTCO girlies couldn't cut the mustard then deal with it or go home and cry into your mummies apron. just stay out of MY sky.
how dare you call pilots arrogant.
