The very first Pilot vs ATCO willy waving comment in any form which I can find evidence of was from the thread starter in Post #3
Like just because he's a frustrated failed pilot perhaps??? That'll be ok then would it?
There are no deleted messages prior to that, except one from the thread starter himself which is an abbreviated version of Post #3. Deleted posts are kept on PPRuNe, available for Mods to view should they wish to do so. They are only hidden from public view when deleted. There are no other deleted posts I can assure you.
The only other possibility is that Post #2 was edited. Or was it ?
