Not a discussion I want toget involved with BUT pilots who think controllers give priority to local airlines need to get a better idea about how ATC works.
I have worked at quite anumber of airports, some may even be considered a bit "third world",and at none has the local airline operator been given priority.
Giving the correct priorityto traffic is one of the most important factors when trying to achieve an efficient flow of traffic.
Sometimes these priorities maybe applied incorrectly, and this will usually be due an inexperienced controller, someone under training or maybe someone who is just not that competent.
