Hey D.P.
Sorry, but I have to agree with ****zu. Last week with the Wx diversions and Willy Training exercise it was a nightmare. All I want from the pilot is "which direction, how far and for how long". They're on radar and all I really need to know is who to tell and who he needs to miss (Like you, I'm doing en-route too).
Although, with diversions over the next couple of days, the R/T seemed less verbose ...... or was I getting used to it???
