All you well intentioned ATC-ers.
An example from yesterday.
STD - 13:45
CTOT - 14:00 Brilliant.
Push and start 13:45
As we pushing back, ATC - your slot has just become 14:29 what are your intentions????
Well we're already pushing, surely we're in the system so we could just take off? Nope. sorry. Carried on pushing, then held remote followed by 2 more slot changes, eventually left at 14:10.
ATC-ers should we not be allowed to continue once we have pushed for a slot within the allowed time. Even if this means revising your capacity in our favour? I found yesterday's ATC game somewhat difficult to stomach. Then of course on our way, there are huge periods of silence on the French and Swiss etc... frequencies. (I know so London might have been busy, yippee).
So come on guys, don't bother to explain this to me, just get some common sense into this anti-aviation system and get us all airborne once we've pushed ey???
