Seeing as polls are the flavour of the minute:-
Mods, how about the following poll:-
If ATC stop AD/ED to cover essential services:-
Options for Pilots:-
1. Will you whine when you are held on the bay or elsewhere?
2. Will you cheer, and tell the punters in the tube behind you why it is so?
3. Will you blame ATC (to the punters down the back) for the delay, like so many Aircrew do, irrespective of why the late departure?
4. Will you shut the f$%k up and say nothing for fear of airline management reprisal?
Let's not be shy with responses eh .... there are numerous ATC's travelling every day listening to the PA's!
