why ar eu always so defensive??
Just don't play with responsability/professionalism when adressing controllers. They won't try to understand and will fire at first sight.
As niknak wrote, nothing personal.

Regarding "las normas".
Just reading you is already an effort. At least for me (non-native)...
Must also be difficult for natives to read me sometimes, but I make efforts.

I could have you on the phone in a few years. Until then, you'll have to learn how to help me understand you.
Doesn't work everytime at first try... You'll have to try again slower, and again in other words, keep cool and try again until it works.
Same when talking to pilots.
No choice.

We all went through this learning. Native or not.

Good luck.


And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, an example of really bad joke from a non-native :

CraigJL,
It took me nigh on 3 months
Why didn't you try on days, could have been quicker...

More seriously : If I want to take my 16-year-old daughter in a visit where I work, I must ask the government. Can take more than 3 months, lots of paperwork and they may send the police to make an inquiry first.

Bren is it just me that has noticed the extremely rude attitude of wannabe-ATCOs in here as of late
As opposed to the welcoming smiles and open arms of the previous generation
