The guy with the accent who is controlling 122.1 etc over west is so smooth and friendy, he has to be my fav MLB ACT.
He never gets frustrated or pissed.
You rock!

Peoples, your comments are spot on. It's a pleasure and a privilege to work with the gentleman. As for myself, despite once being hassled by a pilot for being too cheery, I find it difficult to be as 'unflustered as the man in question.

Yeah I agree that guy is absolutely great. Cant say the same for one of the others though, it almost sounds like he's growling all the time. Gggggrrrrrr.
Guy with a Scottish accent that works 125.75 around the Point Lookout area in NSW is also fantastic, nothings ever too much and he's always very helpfull. Wish there were more like him.

Ah yes, I know who you mean - he's known within our company as 'Mr Happy'. Always a pleasure to 'work' with. :ok:
The other one that brings a smile to peoples faces is the WA sector controller with the accent who isn't 'Melbourne Centre' but rather 'Melbourne Santa'. :D

Big Bird at YMMB is in a league of his own. I still remember his comment when a twin turboprop thing landed on 31R instead of 35R, thankfully without incident (a trap for many young players, including me). "Oh well, it was a good landing". I noted that aircraft was parked beside the tower for rather a long time..........

The Scottish bloke does not do 125.75. He does 120.55 and 125.7 however.
there is a canadian or american controller in nzaa who is always super-cheerful. when i've talked to her i always feel like my day is just a little bit better.she's a champ.

Well isn't this a sunny day for ATCOs :)
I concur with the comments about the PLO controller - having had many passengers exit the aircraft in the CH area from flight levels, he's always been very accomodating of my frequent, and at times less-than-perfect operation. :ok:

Thanks for that, I couldn't remember what freq. it was. I haven't heard him for awhile though.
Would this be the same gentelman (from westlow sector) who coined the phrase " Meekabloodythara" over the radio the other day.
If so it's a pleasure to work with you, and the rest who know how to do the job in a delightfull and friendly way.
I also echo the comments from somone earlier, It is great to see a positive and friendly ATCO/Pilot thread for a change.
P.S. Don't mention Darwin ATC)
