"Where's our traffic"
This is going to sound like another controller bitch and moan,but I want to highlight a phrase I have heard from pilots over teh past couple of weeks that does not sound professional at all.
On first contact pilot instructed to reduce speed/turn/etc. A minute or two later comes the dreaded:
"Where is our traffic?"
I realise keeping the pilot in the picture is part of our job but a comment like that doesn't achieve anything.I might have priority traffic departing from another runway. And I know it isn't every pilot that does it but its more than a few.
