Menard,
I guess you aren't getting my point...anyway i find it much harder to develop an air picture if i don't know where the aircraft are that are landing at the same airport AND runway that i am...for LHR i could really care less how i fit in with the aircraft on the other runway. I do care how i fit in with the one i will be in conflict with landing on the runway i am using. If they all are speaking the same language then it makes it easier.
I'll take you up on the offer as well, if we fly together you get to do all the radio work in China, India, Cairo and anywhere else i have to get ATC to say again more than once a day. Deal
