H1, it's a bit rich getting on here criticizing Australia's 'unique' ATC when EK brings it's 'unique' procedures to this country. Whatever approach you want to fly is of no concern to me whatsoever. I bring it up to point out that your company has it's way of doing things, so does ours. Do I agree with the way my 'company' does business? No. Do I get to choose how it does business? No.
If you want me to do business the way the yanks do, or any other countries do, you're wasting your time bitching at me. I don't make the rules here. I'm going to follow them though.
How long would you keep your job if you decided to fly the 34V star??
