But don't tar us all with the same brush.
and
(and I stress here it is only some, not the majority) be it due to company pressures or other reasons, think they are the only aircraft that matters when it comes to operating. It does come across as that way sometimes - and it's not endearing behaviour.
Exactly and very well said.
I never intended to tar everyone with the same brush but to illustrate a problem that from my perception is becoming more common.
Why this might be so I dont know.
There is also another aspect to this which may be relevant.
There is another thread about the trajic accident involving a student pilot.
AT do an excellent job organising the safe flow of traffic.
Whilst any pilot should be able to accept a change in his instruction, any change creates an increase in the pilot's workload. The same is true for the controller when he gives in to bullying of this sort (for whatever reason).
It would be most unfortunate were an accident to result from another pilot's impatience, particularly when of the persons involved it was potentially the one least able to cope that was suffering a change of clearance.
