DP & HT, agreed. Thank you for that. I had a ground tour in ATC in the RAF.
Recollect, many years ago, mentioning intrusive ATC to Vancouver.
They were not pleased (They even had a whinge to Seattle); my captain was not pleased but, after decades of reflection, I have no doubt that I was right to make the point.
As is said in the mil:
'The standard you walk past is the standard you accept'
I dislike confrontation but sometimes you just have to do it.
