A&C - Im sure the replies you may get on this forum are NOT personal but are a response to the way GA is treated by CAT. You only need to look at the thread on 121.5 to see why you may get castigated. I cant say I disagree with your perceived need for ATC contact but please do not expect CAT to have priority always. As Beagle said if it means a few Euros more on a ticket price then so be it. For many of us who pay huge amounts in tax and duty on AVGAS and the like and fund our flying out of TAXED income, the saving of a few tax and duty free litres of avtur for you is very low on our list of priorities.
