ILS 119.5 I think you'll find that controllers are there to provide a service no matter who it is. They are also there to provide safety and are not conerned directly with the financial side of things. Remember if you make an aircraft go round that has already lined up it is still an active runway regardless if it makes a touch and go. On top of that if you do make a light aircraft hold for the departure of a large aircraft it not only has to wait for the runway to become free again but also has to wait for the wake from the departing aircraft in your case a 737-700 to settle down. So I think you should lay of the controllers, these people have a stressed enough job as it is without people moaning about the way they do their job. Remember that aviation should be safety first, not financial first and definately not spotter satisfaction first.
