Last nights speedbird out of JFK
hello everyone, last night I heard Speedbird, i think it was flight 112, departing out of JFK. During the climbout atc told them to 'pick of the rate of climb' Speedbird complied but quickly reminded them about the fuel shortage at Heathrow. To my astonishment and probably even to the Speedbirds astonishment, the controller was not aware of the shortage. After some conversation between the two, atc told them to operate at any advantageous speed. Atc was almost apologetic
my question is this.
Seeing that ATC was so compliant with British airways last night after reminding them of the shortage,couldnt British remind everyone of this shortage by adding that in the remarks section of the flightplan?
I mean if ATC in Newyork understood, Im sure other airports with less traffic density could too.
If all this is fluff please forgive me.
