Sure, every now and then someone doesn't pay enough attention to a fix time, but then I'm paid to make it happen too. No point in getting uptight about it, just fix it and move on.
If you ever get the chance, drop in and see what we do - we get far too few visitors and most seem to find it of interest and learn a bit about the "big picture" view.
It would be great to get some controllers into the jumpseat for some bid window views, haven't seen it in my 29 years.
My biggest peeve is trying not to stop while taxying only to get an onwards clearance two seconds after setting the park brake!
