Well done Muscat without question, a furball to say the least!
But to be fair, nobody has constructively addressed Mana's query, and it was a good one. Why were there numpties flight planning right into the guts of it and making hard work of it for everybody concerned! And there was a lot of them!
Two companies rang our center in UAE that I know of that made legitimate queries on how they can plan in the Muscat FIR to avoid the grief, one was a major which is refreshing! The only advice I had at the time...go south!
I don't think Mana was poo pooing Muscat, he was just questioning the professionalism of operators sending the starship troopers into the guts of a raving cyclone!
