Benedictus
Didnt mean to imply that was the norm' .Was trying to insert a bit of balance to the pasting that the guys at EDI got.
GLA is a great place to operate from , the absolute opposite in terms of attitude to the deal in EDI .
I do stand by the statement that the way all of us pilots / atco's in Scotland operate at the mo' is not a useable model for the future and something radical will have to change . The problems documented on this thread about EDI are the beginings of a melt down across the area and some "blue sky" thinking by the powers that be in both Scottish and at the major airports is neccesary , it will not be long before your major customers are banging on the door looking for you guys to pick up some or all of the tab for the ATC delays . ( i know that management at Director level in a major loco are looking closely at the change in the rules later this year)
