Well perhaps they were drama queens, but they gave a wee reminder to those of us on the other end of the radio that you guys are not necessarily doing it just to piss us off.
How the heck do they ever get anyone to do it? They couldn't pay me enough to sit in a dark radar room peering at dots on a screen. If the guys on the programme were hamming it up, what's it really like? How do you cope with it?
As for Americans, if they don't have restricted airspace round three of thre busiest airports in the world, what hope is there of them getting organised enough to introduce slots? If the constitution guarantees them the inalienable right to fly where the please, presumably they can decide to arrive and depart when they please as well. Funny country.
