A sight yes, but not from my chair... 10 spinning, none knowing a landing time, me not knowing who would stay or go or when the gates would open, if they did would it be one or two bits of tar, 16R ILS failing, me have severe comms issues with the flow who knew no more than me as it turned out; BN sending diverting aircraft DCT CB from MSO way, "me saying no f'n way" I've got ten at TARAL... BN being pissed off with me...
So I forgot to issue a STAR until after number 11 left CULIN and
he reminded me, gruffly... doh! I was wired until about 2am... Got to let go, calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean...
