Hiya PF controllers,
2 or 3 questions for you GLA controllers maybe you can help me with??
1) Why is it at weekends you are not bandboxed like edinburgh?? is it something to do with too many staff or is it really that busy that you need to have someone in. Listening in today from work (cos I have to!!) you had ground, tower, radar 1 and 2 open yet there didnt seem to be much around think a CO from the north 4 from the south and a couple of VFR's??. just curious cos at EDI seems to have fewer positions open on a weekend but surelt its more difficult cos they have a crappy airport structure.
2) Does it annoy you as much as it does us having to shut the short, there is nothing worse than going forward and back to the short runways with crews all because they have such stringent rules for a/c size into area juliet, think the BAA could do better, but just seems if your not going thru the terminal buying stuff from retail shops or parking your car they aint interested.
3) Why do you have to tell an aircraft they are cleared to cross the 28 threshold did something happen or did someone just decide you need to tell em there clear to cross??
4) Isn't execair 4 the most switched on guy around the apron?!?!?!? hehehehe only kidding!!!!! if you ever hear G-BXGH or G-BXOF landing at GLA it will most likely be me manipulating the controls and am happy to take rwy 28 and be stopped by Y2!!!!!!
btw you guys are very good and look after us very well so just wanted to say thank you for the service you give us even tho we probably get in your way a lot, its very much appreciated!.
Cheers
Deeko!
