'Would you be so happy to be "providing a service" then?'
If the ac wanted an approach for training then, subject to the normal fees for an approach, and the criteria laid down in local orders then yes I would accept him. If it was for a landing then he would require to have a PPR and we would have known about it coming in anyway.
Maybe we do things a little different in the military because we don't have the pressures of airport authorities putting a price on everything due to the need to make profits. I'm not saying its is right or wrong but that seems to be the way it is. I would always advocate that, within the confines of our regulations and provided that controllers are not overloaded, then why not give a little back to the the people who pay their taxes (my opinion - not necessarily that of our lords and masters, but at then end of the day I am paid to make, and capable of making, such decisions.)
