Once a pilot : Sorry if I offended you , but there are too many people on this forum nowadays who are not who they are pretending to be .
No I am not only “watching ATC`’, I also fly my own aeroplane around and do since quite a while a few other aviation related things on the international field, that allowed me to gain a certain knowledge that I sometimes try to share here.
I think I got your point, I hope you got mine. Which basically was : No point bitching at Chinese ATC for not allowing deviations from routes. If you are retired and flew in Europe you surely remember the 3 Berlin corridors , a CB in one of them and it was 180 degr back . Well ,basically nothing has changed.
