kcockayne as I said you haven't got a clue what you are talking about. Brest and Reims ATC's are poor, Bordeaux is shocking. You may be surprised to hear some of my colleagues are ex ATCO's themselves and are in total agreement with what I conveyed in this thread.
Nock, this forum is called ATC issues is it not? Hence I thought it might give some ATCOs an opportunity to comment. Clearly kcockayne has his/her point of view and it is entirely misplaced. If kcockayne and his Brest ATC mates thinks all ATC is tickety boo in France it is probably why such a problem exists in the first place. But you are right. I should, and will file a report and that is probably better time spent than subscribing to this forum.
au revoir mon amies!
