If you think AMS air traffic is best in Europe and better than LHR you either have a very stange idea of what "good ATC" is or have never been to either of them more than a few times. I operate out of LHR into AMS on a regular basis and they are not even in the same league. AMS air traffic seem to spend a lot of their time trying to mess you up with the most stupid radar vectoring I have ever come across. It is the only place I have, more than once, had to refuse a turn to the ILS because we were in an impossible position to fly an approach. Quite a few others I wish I had refused after only just getting stable in time to land. I have only operated around Europe. I am quite prepared to believe that there are ATC units as good as LHR in the world but there arent any in Europe and most certainly not in AMS.
