In brest theyre confused when controlling 3 a/c. as one poster said "station calling" seems to be a well used phrase, amoungst many other gaffes. If I had an emergency id want london helping me out. simples.
I just come back at home from my duty in Brest ACC. I don't remember to have been confused at any time today, except when this RYR with opened mic disturbed everybody in my sector. Anyway I take good note that next time I'll have an emergency in my sector, I'll transfert him immidiately to 132.950, even the aircraft is overhead NTS.
Seriously could you imagine that from time to time we train some new ATCOs, and we must refrain ourselves (instructors) from taking the mic for minors errors, in order they improve their skills ?
I prefer a trainee asking "station calling" if he doesn't pick the right callsign than one who issue a clearance to the wrong aircraft.
B(r)est regards from B(r)est ACC.
