I don't get you guys.
One thread your moaning because we reduce your track miles and it blows your descent plan out the window, and the next thread the guy that gives you direct to base is the best guy out there?????
I give up.
The one time i tried to do this, to a C402, yes a C402, at 20nm leaving A040, I offered the straight in runway, the pilot replied " i need the track miles to get down"..........
