I'm with you on this one Skyslave. It is very unprofessional to argue on the R/T but even more so to not read your SID plate properly and blast off into the London TMA
.............
If anything this has alerted me to keep an ear open for "Hellasjet". Is that their call sign?
Roxy, I'm not sure I understand your point about operating in Greek airspace, no radar etc. I've done it (at night, in thunderstorms
) and it certainly can be demanding - more so than flying a SID out of LGW in a Bus with radar cover.
Happy New Year everyone.
