Leave Huggy alone!!! He is a pilot and therefore a member of the master race!!(yeah right)I have scarcley seen such arrogance from someone when a perfectly civilised request was made.Of course pilots are busy but so too are atco's.The oft made comment that we are here because you are there is not to appreciate that the business of moving people and freight around the sky is a TEAM game and realistically if the punters weren't there NONE of us would be required . We have a duty of care to the people who put their faith in the aircrew,engineers,atco's, support staff in fact all involved in getting them from A to B safely and expeditiously .If you are asked to report a speed it is part of that duty of care to comply .Atco's invariably know the big picture Huggys'invariably DON'T so do as you are asked and we will all be able to make the system run as it should for the benefit of the people who ultimately pay our salary!
