Mr Horgy,
Thanks for your thread, it has hopefully shown the 1 or 2 'stroppy' individuals how they come across on the R/T. (Public humiliation always works I find!!) There are approx 50 controllers at Aberdeen and to have 1 maybe 2 sarccy ones is probably a pretty fair ratio. I agree with all the previous posters that in a professional and dynamic environment 'having it out' or being sarcastic on the radio is unprofessional, petty and probably egotistical. (Surely that's what humour is for?!)
ABZ is a fairly unusual operation with its fair share of unusual scenarios but having a large aircraft stop asap on a short, wet runway cannot be called unusual. Even the Air France Embraers do it regularly so it is not exactly unheard of!
TAD,
Still disagree with you over the risks in Class G to the South of Aberdeen. I've only ever given 1 avoiding action to that airline and that was because the crew missed my first RAS call. Guess we'll have to agree to disagree on the issue!
Limpopo,
Thanks for your kind words. Last week was testing for both sides of the R/T.
Regards, ADIS
