So ....There I was, going around and around the Defence Round-about for the 5th time and thinking; " This is it," "when I get onto the BIG Z now, I will have a straight ride over the bridge past "The Village, a short delay at the gate and the into my parking without even as much as seeing other traffic on the road."
Why do I expect this ? I have now done my holding(penalty or ATC victimization as some may think), so that would mean no more traffic ahead right? Why does this not work? 6 lanes, joined by 4 more, all becoming 3, becoming 2 and then, only 1 parking for my Auto!
The same apply for night shift, and for Dubai in general. The funnel is a bit small for all of you. We try as far as possible to limit the "free"of charge
(only pay for your own fuel please) sight seeing/ or light seeing at night........well at least some of us do!!
Whe are stuck with someone,( in the town South of here,) who is of the opinion, that his plans are the best in the world and that his surname ,should infact, have been Icao.! Someone laying down the law, who has never even work here, or at any other BIG airport.
We,Dubai App and the UAE Control, need you as the flying public to wisper in the ears of the Big Man. That you are fed up with the situation, and that the "free for all policy" need to be looked at. The magic word...........SLOTS!
I also think that one of the reasons it is easier to get into the White House
than in our playroom is: That you would be shocked to see our system of ink on paper, as oppose to a real ATC system. And our managers and Gca Know this!
This should have only been a short term thing but that was a few years ago now. The new one : "After sometime to be getting" Like most things around here , a Month given, just not the year!!
So ...... in November (no year ) we'll be getting new procedures/Equipment/staff/salary tincrease/radar /fam flights/ ect.... list goes on
Sorry I am bitching a bit,it is that time of the month!
At your service always,
