<<That is when you declare a Mayday and say going direct, watch my blip. How many ATC guys have been killed by a bomb going off in an aircraft. I had one false positive bomb threat on my flight to LAX and you can do anything you want. Don't ever let ATC delay your landing.>>
Has anyone noticed the increase in moronic postings on PPRuNe? If a pilot declares a major emergency ATC will do everything possible to ensure the safety of the flight and get it on the ground ASAP. At least, that's the way we function in the UK.
