PB.. Yep, heard plenty like you... Heathrow is a doddle until you actually try it! I wouldn't do the TMA; it would be totally beyond me and I'm happy to admit it. What a lot of people don't understand is that ATC is a diverse profession. Because you can do one sector doesn't mean you can do them all. I worked Heathrow Tower for 20 years. After that, TC was a rest home!
