Nice one Vertigo,

I symathise with you. I have just spend the morning ploughing through Captains comments re their routings. I wouldn't mind if the comments are polite but most are arrogant and flipant.

THIS flight should be filed via UA25!!!!!!!
Answer. One portion of UA25 is Southbound only and your flight was heading north

Why this route???? In future I expect to be planed via blah blah blah.....
Answer: Your route is 65NM longer, off Standard Routing scheme and uses unavialable airways with min flight levels above the capability of your aircraft.

Sorry.... needed to rant as am sick of dealing with this now. The days of finding an airway nearest to your great circle line are gone. Too many regs and restrictions. Guess it can be frustrating but please dont question those of us who know what we are doing...or if you must, please dont treat us like idiots and use some tact!
