Twisted
You really must learn to calm down or your blood pressure will cause you to fail your next medical!!!
I really don't see that the remarks made by ATC Watcher or myself were either "stupid" or "personal". We are both struggling to understand how to make constructive use of whatever influence we may have on the slot allocation system.
Taking sentences out of context does nothing to help. My question, addressed hopefully to the wider world of pilots, was to attempt to find a simple rule to guide my attempts at being customer-facing. There seems little point in me "meddling" with the FMU system to bring forward a slot if it causes such anguish to the crew and despatchers on the receiving end as has been described above. I would like some advice as to what is and what isn't a useful intervention, but I see no need to make personal attacks on other contributors.
Once again, comments please....
