Mike - you can come out from under the desk...
MY 2 cents.... >
If I am flying around these sky's - all I want is the BEST person for the job...!!!
I remember years back, there was (I think) a Bulgarian / Yugoslavian (apologies if wrong) chap at FALA ATC - I struggled to sometimes understand him - BUT - he was brilliant in a very busy tower... I believe he moved to JHB Info and think I heard him there...
Long story short - don't give me a "political" controller, just because the book says you must have 'equity'. Give me someone who knows what the blazes he is doing...!!
I dont want an "ehhhhhh, tun to ehhhhhh hedding uhhhhhh, ehhhhh, tun left ehhhhh, 10 digriz and dezend to livil uhhhhhh siks, uh, zero zero zero uh, zero...."
(Oh, I think I'm gonna be in trouble for this one...!!
)
Shuttle, out.....
Cheers
