boxjockey. I understand that you are protective of your homeland (your profile says you are in the US). Regardless, suggesting that LHR is anything other than the example of calm, professional and busy ATC is really doing yourself no favours. I understand that the big airports in the US are busy, and that the controllers are good at their jobs, but the comments regarding their attitude and demeanour (especially concerning their treatment of foreign carriers) is warranted. Obviously, it is not appropriate to belittle or respond sarcastically to a foreign carrier just because they have trouble with language or quirky non-standard procedures or terminology. Having said that, CX screwed up in LAX, and the ever lowering experience level in our cockpits will inevitably result in disaster.
