Likewise I'd like to appologise to some NZ controllers that have to put up with the antics of one of our captains. He used to be a controller and takes every opportunity to make an **** out of himself, believing he knows better than the current controllers.
There is nothing worse than sitting next to the pratt and possibly being tarred by the same brush when he queries clearances, pushes for what he considers are better clearances, tries to do the job for the controllers. Personally, I wish that he would crawl back into his hole, as he gives us all a bad name.
Congratulations go to the guys that just ignore him, it's gotta be a hard thing to do! I know that I would probably just let fly with some of the cr@p he puts down! After all, we're only flying a 31, it's not as if he's any more important than anyone else!!
