To PPRUNE et al,
Why do you allow such diatribe and rubbish to be spouted by those who want to hijack the thread.
Please guys keep to the topic whci was a near collision. If you want to discuss the merits or otherwise of US ATC versus ATC elsewhere then start a thread to do just that.
Here's one who's fed up with decent threads being hijacked by people who have a different agenda. I'm all for freedom of speech - in the appropriate place. By the way I've never flown in the US so I have no knowledge of how godd or bad ATC is at busy airports. However, between ATC and pilots it seems that you're all doing quite well as very few of you manage to hit each other.
