This has to be an early April Fool joke. Surely every language has enough simple words to describe that you are approaching your capacity limit. When either the aircraft and/or myself are 'hot and high' I ask for more track miles, delaying vectors or more time. So do my colleagues. But what takes the biscuit are the canned pre-departure briefings. I wonder if these come in different flavours. Ones with windshear and cross-wind from the left. Others with a four and a half knot tailwind and a dodgy looking air start machine. But if this is true, it shows that the lunatics have taken over the asylum. And the name of the airline should be made public. It will allow me to give them more room - I wouldn't want to be responsible for driving them into the Amber zone. And I certainly wouldn't take the mickey on the radio.
