ANA et al, if you can't take a bit of constructive criticism from other aviation professionals, who do have some experience globally, you are in a pretty sad position, cause that's what reading your posts looks like to me.
Like it or not (and you obviously don't) TCAS is a wonderful situation awareness tool for pilots, that combined with all the other cues we get from our environment, such as radio calls and looking out the windows, tells us remarkably accurately how busy you are.
Our experience elsewhere in the world gives us a benchmark to measure the overall performance of an ATSU and quality of its RT. Hence my initial statement about use of phraseology.
So this will be my last post on the issue, I had hoped that something could be done to reduce the level of unnecessarily emotive and verbose urgency phrases from some controllers in DXB tower, just as a controller recently did regarding poor pilot RT.
Guess I failed.
