Whilst agreed the the simple "yes you do!" comment was ineffective and probably not the best way to make their feelings known, the BA crew DID in fact inform the CLNC DEL controller of their concerns and they were then relayed to the IB crew on the GC freq. This is all audible, very clearly, on the tapes and DingerX has even transcribed them. The BA crew could not have made their point more clearly after the initial, knee jerk comment.
So, DK FCI, your point with that final comment is...?
