Thanks for the replies guys......('specially
WWW..it really is time we sorted out some Fam Flights!)
HOWEVER
It would mean a rule change but would at last create a clear procedure(s) if an aircraft calls for a Priority or a Fuel Priority landing. ATC would take the aircraft straight in and there the matter would end. No ambulances, bells or fire engines.
And this would naturally leave no scope for abuse. I have had a pilot question my order because he "had come from xxxx and naturally was a little tight on fuel". So how would we deal with queue jumpers?
