Tired,

That is the best, most funniest thing I've heard in my life. Absolutely pissing myself, honest!

And so original!

The best?

That's easy ... well rested, fairly paid controllers, who enjoy the support of good management.

The "worst"?
I suppose that could be ... those tired, over-worked, under-paid, hung-out-to-dry poor buggers at

The best?

Easy, the one who gives me direct and an uninterrupted climb to altitude.

The worst?

Take a guess.

"Pilots make the best controllers."

You mean those who'd suggest TCAS is the best controller.

As one on the "receiving end" of ATC I think you are all the best but some are better than others!

<<Pilots make the best controllers.>>

I know I'm extremely old and extremely decrepit but this word "p-i-l-o-t". Isn't that some sort of whale?

A senior Eurocontrol man said to me once "I can't tell you the name of the weakest link in European ATC, but it has six sides and two coastlines"

I'm guessing that would be France??? I know that Air Frog pilots can sometimes be a right royal pain in the backside to work with. I mean how hard is it to at least try and meet the requirement that you are given. And at least sound a little apologetic when you miss it by 4,000 ft. Rant over.

......and this one time, at Controller camp, someone asked "Who was the best controller in the world" and this guy was like "I know" and we were all "Uh-uh!" and he was like "Uh-huh! That's him over there" and we were like "No way!" and he was like "Way! Go ask him!" and we did ask him and the guy said he was and were like in awe and stuff.............

I suppose there is no possibility of having that in English, Jerrico? Then we might understand what you're on about...
