@Paraskevoulla:
(I haven't figured out how to work the "quote" function on this forum).....
Why havent I directly answered your question?
1. I wrote a reasonably lengthy and what I hoped to be a helpful reply, im so sorry (not) if it didnt specifically address the point you are for some reason trying to make.
2. Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, and it doesnt flatter you.
3. Honestly the question to your answer is; I couldnt give a ****! I've been through the process, I made it, im successful. The rules are the rules. Like it or leave it - your choice.
4. If your attitude in real life matches your attitude on the internet give up now (although I bet it doesnt because people find it easy to hide behind keyboards) - you will not succeed ANYWHERE in ATC with a smart arse attitude.
5. As metioned, this is NOT a FEAST thread, its a Eurocontrol thread.
You can make veiled (and not so veiled) insults all night long, I literally couldnt give a rats ass - ill drink a beer to you now, good luck with your applications - ill enjoy my time at the radar again tomorrow, you know, over here in the real world.........
