Having spent most of my adult life flying airliners all over the world, I know of no more reassuring embodiment of safety than the calm measured tones of British air traffic controllers, particularly when returning from the regular nightmare of near-misses that is America.
Having spent most of
my adult life flying military transports around the world and working in a tower cab or approach control, I've got to wonder: is this "nightmare" occurring because I'm not using "calm, measured tones?" I mean,
I think my tones are "calm" and "measured..." What's more, I'm not seeing any near-misses. Could it be that my failure to ensure the use of "calm, measured tones" makes it SEEM like I'm running them together?
Help me understand!
