This repetitive whining rattle from low aptitude ATC controllers and sheltered B grade airline pilots is becoming a little more than tiresome and nauseating...
Obviously this must NOT be the same E airspace they encounter in the US
Actually, I think you would be laughed out of the country if you tried to pull an Ozzie over there.. The simplistic Aussie mindset that a jet airliner has some complicated "aura" is astonishing. There is nothing in 250 vs 180 knots below 10000'. And how many GA airplanes are there on the Oz register pressurised or with O2 that fly VFR over 10000' on a regular basis? Friggin bone please!! My original suspicions are proving correct: these NAS cry babies are:
A. whining because it makes them feel good
B. afraid of world's most efficient NAS type system
C. anti-US
D. ignorant
E. all of the above
If these Chicken Littles are so concerned about public transport safety, they might instead direct some of their energy attempting to fix the apalling state of the Australian road system where the equivalent of a B737 full load perishes each month..
