Nice posts gweiloairline. Keep believing what your girlfriend tells you. Good to hear you have a handle on things in HK ATC.
Any chance you could get back to the thread instead of bagging the crap out of people you supposedly don't know? (or maybe you are still in ATC here?)
Without wishing to take his side here, any chance that the person in question's comment was taken out of context? Whether you like it or not our jobs are becoming more proceduralised by the guys on the 4th floor, and we look like a production line in a factory. It may not have meant to be derogatory- just a factual observation!
