I Dont Belieeeeve it....
What a crap topic.
What really gets my goat is when a pilot calls in and says Good Morning and it is 4 O'clock in the afternoon (I can understand if you are on the SIA NewYork-Singapore )
I think we should ban all pleasantries across the board as well as the issuance of direct tracking or the requests for it.
Any pilot requesting direct should get an orbit (left or right you choose) or be banned from the next test like Shahid Afridi.
