Throw a Dyce,
I wouldn't be that childish and selfish to complain simply because I wasn't number 1 on the approach or the fact that I had to wait an extra 10 minutes before pushback, nor am I making this a pilot vs controller issue. But I have noticed recently a rise in unwarranted sarcastic remarks. One example is asking the app. controller to see if at 6 miles to touchdown he still wanted us on his freq. After all, and it is hard to believe, yes I know, but controllers are humans too and can forget simple tasks like handing you over to tower. Instead of replying with a yes or no, I was sarcastically told off for making, IMO a valid inquiry, and 2 seconds later he switches us to tower freq. Exactly what was the reason for such a remark, and what did it achieve? Was he announcing to everyone on his freq. how big or small his willy is? I am not exactly sure! There are w
rs on both side of the fence.
