My apologies - yes, I forgot to mention Mastrict control, but I also forgot to mention Heathrow delivery and Heathrow Ground who let us start on schedule and slow taxi to the runway. Heathrow tower who let us depart at the start of the slot. London ATC who gave us the most direct and expeditious departure routing I've ever got from LHR. Not forgetting the Swiss & Italian controllers that gave us direct routings wherever the could.
At the risk of sounding like an Oscar acceptance speech, I mustn't forget to mention the long suffering passengers who have to put up with this continuing nonsense.
Lon More, don't feel left out. You are a small but important part of a big jigsaw. Just don't expect us to roll the credits like they do at the end of a movie!
