With all my respects to the controllers.
As an airline captain I have to say that we have been suffering for whatever reason this situation for more than a year now. The extorsion to Airlines is enormous and one day we could talk about the influence of ATC in the fatigue of crews this summer. In my airline we were obligued to review lost communications procedures.
Tired of holdings after 6 hours flights, 2 hours slots, maintain 160 kts from 50 miles out of the field bla bla bla,
And on top of that today at 5pm before an bank holiday weekend 90% of ATC staff get ill, it is absolutely unaceptable
We are all responsible for our decisions and you should face the consequences of some attitudes
To be honest I wouldn´t like to be on your skin
