Sorry I hadn't taken it as a lecture.


The
The -5/+10 is there FOR AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL ONLY
It seems to be a very jealously guarded right for ATC. And I must admit I can see that this reaction must be because of the minority of pilots taking the piss and getting stroppy on the RT because they haven't got the desired -5 on the slot.

if we don't all play the game together we aren't going to get very far
Sums it up quite nicely the way I understand it. Same with taking the piss by asking for start 5 mins before the is slot about to finish and you still have to taxi for miles. And I hope the tone of my post conveyed team work and nothing else.
