Ok my last post on this thread.
we can be cool and treat the text as adults
hmmmm...
Minotauro, if you have an issue with any of us, why not come talk to us about it. After all, you know who we all are right? Or is it easier to hide behind an anonymous forum name? Or two?
If you are who you say you are I strongly suggest you find a change of career. With feelings like you have about your workplace and colleagues, not to mention your "this-job-is-easy" attitude must make you a very unhappy person, and a dangerous controller.
Personally I don't care if you are a controller (better?) or a failed ab initio or whatever, your attitude towards what was a very sensible posting by NickM. is hugely unprofessional.

TT
You're right, oh master upsetter, but fear not, this guy is but an amateur. And at least you have the decency( ) to do it during posts that are in some way related.

Finally.....
I am very disappointed. This was my 100th post, I had big plans for it, making a world altering statement, some clever witticism, the anouncement of a great personal victory, etc...and what happens? I get caught up in a pathetic war of words. Poo.

Impi,

Anyone who calls himself an ATCO(fourthreethree) or "The Euronator" needs to be slapped upside the head!! You guys have probably never been outside of the MUAC and don't know much about ATC except how to provide vertical separation...

I hold 2 licences my friend..a yellow certificate of competency from MUAC (for what that is worth) and a yellow ICAO licence..this then answers your question. I believe that you don't get a licence for "would you like fries with that sir" from the Golden Arches College..but you can prove me wrong.

Minotauro,

To play this game I´ll prove somehow I´m not an ex ab-initio.
Gfl was last month.
Controllers cup is next month.
Brussels sectors had the afternoon in the simulator thursday 17th april.
Kals De Vries is giving briefings with his "ops-secretary" on the new management plan.
Tuem don´t like the new management plan


Sorry mate, but this only proves that you work in Maastricht and doesn't discount being a student in the sim..you'll have to try harder to sway us on this one.

Most of the controllers at muac went through a hard to very-hard time training, but when later established it is (going to make alot of friends here) easy.

Be very careful..every heard the old saying "familiarity breeds contempt" the day you start thinking that a sector is easy and you can let your concentration levels wane is the day it will come back and bite you in the ass..big time. You will learn this from experience my young "Paduan".

Why don't you all piss on each other via private email instead of subjecting us to your drivel. Or mark your posts with a "Caution: garbage alert" so we can scroll down. Thank you.

Listen to the wise words coming from Canada and stop this sad exhibition. The only thing I wish to say to Impi and Minotauri is that a great external display of arrogance is very often linked to an even greater internal feeling of incompetence. I truly fear the day that I will have to sit beside either of you and work the traffic in the, like it or not, second busiest ACC in Europe. Over and out.

Angry

Some of you guys are letting the side down. With the level of maturity you display, I really wonder how you ever made it as ATCOs. By god, you fail miserably as ambassadors for the profession! Fortunately you are an insignificant minority of infants among thousands of mature and true ATC professionals worldwide.

I was following this with minor amusement, sitting on the fence (a wind up in progress can sometimes be interesting) until that last post.

Ferris,

Sorry to correct you old mate but it should be we have a " WEEENER"

Minatauro,

If you want to change the world and protect the trainees from what you perceive as bad coaching then joing the training section and afterwards take each of them through OJT.

Minotauro: boy, like the grasshopper, when you grow up you may understand more, and I suggest that you remain quiet until you know what you are talking about
Imnomaverick, with an attitude problem like his no-one would let him near a trainee
Let's get back on thread, why people fail, not how the idiots slip through.

...I was wondering what this thread was about - it was getting so pointless I was going to suggest moving it to where all the other pointless threads end up...................

Can someone PLEASE check my IP address to confirm that I am not Minotauro? i.e. a person being accused of being a disgruntled, recently chopped Ab Initio?

For the record, I'm completely professional about the situation because (A) I know I may have to rely on Eurocontrol for references; (B) I'm that sort of person.

I know that most people at MUAC have got me sussed anyway, so there's no point in hiding behind some semblence of anonymity.

As for me sussing the likes of 443/Lon More etc out.... still not quite there yet, but no doubt I'll be meeting with one or two of you later this week.

Unhappy

Having been away on more pressing matters for the past cople of weeks, this thread has made for a highly entertaining, if disapointing return. One immediate question springs to mind. NickM, given what you've just witnessed here, are you still contemplating joing the Eurocontrol ranks at the end of the summer?

Radar, Congratulations and welcome to the ranks of the sleepless.

I know that every living thing has one asshole, Euro unfortunately seems to have two but the real disaster is that they are the future. At least I won't be there to see them
343 days and counting

Impi

What has worked for me (have received no complaints) is : "After landing 737 line up and power up on the breaks.."
Fantastic bit of ATC there Impi - in all your vast tower experience. I can imagine the checkies thought that was great.....how about ..... adding our own little helpful parts to all of our ATC(O) transmissions - you know real helpful stuff.

Lon respects his staff and stands up for his staff - you would be well advised to learn what being a leader is about.


I suggest you learn your current phraseology better...

Do you want sauce with your nuggets...... Should keep Ronald very Happy

Dear o' Dear o' Dear,

Haven't seen so much commotion since grandma got her tit caught in the mangle !!!!

Well hello Radar, didn't think you'd have enough time on you hands to be reading this ****e let alone responding to it. Though I shall have to go and see if it was typed at some godforsaken time of the morning when all and sundry should be sleeping.

And I see that minature tauro really doesn't know TT, for a moment there it looked as if he was about to go down on his knees and .........

Well kinda like driving a Volvo really, both feel great until a mate sees you

Lon,
Thanks again for obliging me with the 4th day. I slept right through it

Justin .... time check please! Godforsaken hour as I recall, though my brain could be turning to mush already.

Sorry this reply is way off thread but maybe that's for the better. BTW Nick (if you're still reading this?) give it a go. We're not all a bunch of to$$ers. Honest!
