I rarely feel the need to post a reply to some of the rubbish that is plastered all over this website. However your posts take the biscuit. You quite clearly have no appreciation of aviation and the mechanisms that are put in place to prevent incidents turning into accidents. Flying to JFK I have witnessed some of the most scandalous controlling in the world. They are dangerous. I don't care how busy they are, they should never compromise safety.

The last two approaches I've done there I've had to break off and be re-vectored off the localiser because ATC have another a/c turning on ahead of me. It don't matter if your IMC or VMC. It's just stupid was at the speed they requested. I was spatially aware, I did try to help them out. I wasn't cheeky. They were gash.

The UK has the most congested airspace in the world but consequently has the talent on the ground to (just) cope with it.

Often the US doesn’t.

I'm off to Newark tonight, who knows what they'll try to do to me there.
