Wherever you are in the UK, Heathrow or Cranfiels(sic), the QNH is a mandatory readback.
They are the rules. Taking it out on the ATCO's is not going to help, OR CHANGE the situation.
The CAA can be contacted with your comments and queries; they're the people who regulate the industry and its components.
Visit a tower for a day, mine if you like. I'll take a £1 for each incorrect readback and go home a rich man.
I'll take a fiver each time we work out the mistake could've cost lives. I'll go home a very rich man.
