Are you guys doing training lately or just overworked??? Came in wednesday night, AVAGO2B, crap weather, radar vectored to ILS 21L, vectoring was ok, controller didn't seem to be impressed with us as we asked to turn base within 8 miles to avoid weather. Got onto the LOC at FL 090, got asked to slow to 160 IAS, so we did... Advised him we were now above glide, we got told to take up a heading of 310, although we advised him we could make it straight in. The next few minutes must have been overkill for him as we could not get a call in, trying to tell him we would now pick up base for 21L to avoid. Next thing you know a calm relaxed controller comes on, directs his traffic and no more radio cluttering.....
My question is, do you guys train ATCO's (in sheeit weather) or was the poor guy just overloaded??
