Ridiculous, this kind of rubbish happens all too frequently. JFK approach need to wind it in.
I fully agree.
My company is paying their company.
So, i think, we as pilots, have more rights to complain about ATC. (I know this will upset some people....)
Now, IF, JFK atc is paying my company for their service, they have a point (but they do not..)
I flew many times to jfk, you just cannot even plan what they want, they do last minute changes even in low vis, changing runways etc.
Tell me/us way in advance what you want and we will adapt (help you girls and guys) but don't leave for the last 3-4 minutes.
I understand you girls and guys have to cope with a lot of traffic and nationalities, so why don't you all start with speaking a bit slower?
I am used to your accent, many or not (esp. grnd freq.......is even more freq congestion!)
We can all work together but it has to come from 2 sides, and IMHO we as pilots are more in our rights than ATC, especially after a 8-10 (or more!) LH flight.
Off for the weekend, back next Thursday in......JFK
