Jumbo,

No problems. I agree entirely with your sentiments about pilots touching base if there is anything 'relatively minor' (outwith MOR territory) to discuss/clarify. I was just wondering whether there was any mileage in having a reminder, post flight, to phone ATC if there was anything you wished to query - it might help in promote a better two-way flow and prevent potential 'internet' sniping.

Just out of interest, do the guys down south (TC etc) ever get involved in airline/ATC forums. Round my neck of the woods they have not happened for a while and I think there is a lot to gained from these as well. A few presentations, group discussion and then retire to the bar for a more informal discussion - it always seemed go down well on allsides. Do the guys down south do that and do they get the same sort of benefit from them. I know times are busy and hard, but I think they help.
