It's refreshing hearing positive feedback for a change F4 thanks for that and for those that don't Proon I'll pass it onto the floor.
By shear brilliance in planning (realistically good luck on the roster!!!) I was not working during the WX but really felt for the guys and gals slogging it out in the mayhem that unfolded :\
Whilst sipping my vino at the yacht show and trying to avoid getting my canapés wet, I was gobsmacked at the intensity of the storms that came through Abu Dhabi and cannot say in the last 12 years I have seen rain and lightning like it! :ooh:
Well done ATC at all the units and well done to the pilots for patience and understanding in the chaos that unfolded :D
Now where did I put my glass of champagne....waiter!! :E

I thought we did a decent job in Bahrain, too! Another batch of grey hairs.....
It's a pleasure to work when some common sense is evident in these situations.

Honestly well done guys the Middle East is lucky to have such a good bunch of guys holding things together
Please tell me the pun at the end of that sentence was intended, cause that's exactly what we try to avoid.

Do you lucky ones in AUH or Doha or Bah(ha)rain or you flying the desk at least have wx radar? Another one of the endless mysteries facing us here in DXB is that they don't provide us with any wx radar whatsoever!!! Go figure...:ugh:

The joys of working for a government with the biggest sovereign wealth fund in the world, we have to use a free internet service to get the best picture we can on the affecting weather for a multi-billion Dirham aviation industry...work that one out! :suspect:
