Just seen your latest. Thank you for your comments. I take your point about science & technology & would, in NO WAY, seek to accuse you of not going about these subjects without due diligence or without satisfying yourself as to their efficacy.
Reading my post, above, I guess that it becomes pretty obvious that we come from two very different ATC cultures. Mine being one where the ATCO was in "total control" & yours being one where you are prepared to totally trust in technology.
As I have said before in these pages, I am glad that I am now out of it....and, you probably are , too !
Nevertheless, I genuinely wish you well with it all. Maybe, one day I'll come back & visit & be totally impressed with it all. Or, maybe I'll still pick holes !
