Reminds me of an Emirates pilot I played golf with, he asked me why he couldn't do his "space shuttle" descent in his 777, why he had to be pushed down. I simply blamed the Airbus he was probably following and he was quite happy with that, he now had someone else to blame instead of ATC!
Generally, if we can't blame ATC, the tech-bus is the next best thing
I have been known to have quite a few beers (mainly in the interest of good
PR) with almost anyone
Surely not Ranga....ANYONE? even an airline pilot? say it ain't so...
