What am I jealous of? Please do tell.
"As Idunno's facts correctly show, it is by far the busiest airport in Europe"
You speak of operational items with the landing rate you saw. Then you quote dunno's enplanement rate which is not operational in ATC terms. In terms of how many planes take off and land, LHR isn't the busiest in Europe, CDG is. I have not denigrated LHR ATC at all. I simply point out that it isn't nearly as busy as the top airports out there when judged in terms of annual operations.
"WC, you should really consider the impression you're giving of American flight crew"
Perhaps you do, but I don't concern myself with what others think of me.
"UK is zero (air or ground), so that's a pretty good comparison ..... and apart from the DHL accident over Uberlingen, then Europe is relatively comparable too if you are looking at the last 20 years or so (ground collisions are the common demoninator.)"
I would have to think the US is in that general area, can you show otherwise?
