Thanks all for the posts. Please keep 'em coming, u haven't hurt our feelings yet!!
SPOONBILL,
If u fancy a visit, we're not so 007ish anymore. Send me a private message or e-mail Avoiding Action and we'll arrange a visit for u and colleagues at your nearest friendly AD base!!
Apologies for our shoddy landlines, please see SMORGs comments'(who is that mysterious man??)
If u are continously (spelling?!)giving avoiding actions against us, persevere with our cruddy comms and ask to speak to the Allocator, hopefully he'll be able to improve your day. If not, tell us...we know where he lives!!
Scott, American Dude,
We control most manoeuvering (spelt Brit style!!) military ops in the UK due to our training in tactics and Air Defence Ops. Our crews feel they get more value from their trg that way. Also we don't have massive ranges such as Nellis and we therefore have to try and fit around civil flights, not ideal but there u go.
BEX, Thanx for your input again, we're chasing D School and Flight Deck. Cheers ADIS
FC,
We do have Air Routes but not CDRs on our kit. Afraid we're not allowed to take Min Sep without formal co-ordination, either on or off route. I know we're tying up your attention but we've gotta do it. (Especially when the Montrose girl with the lovely voice is on!!) Seriously though, we do have an agreement with N Sea that we give them a list of their potentially conflicting squawks, and then agree to avoid all those squawks by min sep. This speeds things up greatly, would this work for u guys?
Northern Sky,
You're a funny guy
Laugh... there were ribs flying everywhere....well almost
More banter please Matron!!
Thanx all, more inputs, problems and banter please. This works for us, hope everyone else is getting something out of it.
Cheers ADIS
