Airborne Aircrew I agree completely. I wasn't and WOULD NEVER make light of the task our pilots face when doing the job they have trained for.
I may have met some aircrew who have some tales to tell but I take my hat off to every single one of them when faced with situations when the !!!!! hits the fan.
I hope others agree that certain people have taken my comments out of context and whatever I have posted is meant in the best possible spirit. If I had wanted to provoke some venomous remarks on purpose, as an ATCO, stereotypically I suppose i could have tried anything like "!!!!! pilots" but that's not my opinion and neither is it my intention to cause a ruck.
We work together. I don't try to be the enemy and I didn't post with that in mind.
If the replies are anything to go by, I suppose all I can say is, sorry I spoke!
