Long time lurker, first time poster.

Canadian ATCO, I'll save naming the center for now, but high level enroute controller dealing with mostly NAT traffic.

Sure, but it's probably not your first guess ;)

Thunder Bay Terminal?

Nah, Timmins Approach :zzz:

And the point of the original post was.........?

Hum.....
 

I think he was saying hello. :}

Welcome to the poster side CDN_ATC!


S.A.O.
CYOW TCU (kinda like Thunder Bay terminal but with airplanes :ouch:)

Thunder Bay has airplanes.........

Loads of them little VFR going out an beating the crap out of each other.

Al being herded round the circuit by a Pom :E

To avoid confusion, no I don't work anywhere near Ontario:ok:

who's Al...and what did he do to deserve that??:confused:

Awwww, crap.

That's how you spell "all" in YQT

And very trying it is too. 5/6 in the circuit on RW30 with IFR ins and outs on the crossing RW25 anybody? Throw in a few helicopters and we're really laughing - not. http://bestsmileys.com/angry1/8.gif

Fortunately it's not like that every day, plenty of feet on the desk time!

Never met Al. Anyways Sport, weren't you supposed to cross train on YQT Terminal? They seemed a bit short of numbers this summer.

Excuse me Jerricho, how very dare you........it's POHM not pom!!:=

Get 'em Squibbler!

Ahhhhh... VFRs
 

Aren't they fun?

Nothing like one of our (very) french speaking Québec Pilots practicing his english R/T when you're busy. :ugh:

Here's the trick for VFRs: Say "Roger!" a lot.

Now, take away the suspense CDN_ATC! Can't you see it's killing us... well it isn't really but...

Where're you at?

SAO

QM High level Enroute

That would be Moncton, New Brunswick. ;) Located near scenic Riverview, where the autumn colours must be brilliant by now!

Do you know Mr. Oxner or Scooter Magee?

Yes I do both, same ops room, they just work a different specialty then me. Should I say hello?

Say hello to Stephane Blanchard for me if you can!

Felix

S.A.O.

I will, he just recently qualified a few weeks ago after his transfer.

They probably don't remember me, as I was one of several old grey-haired
types on a fam tour a while back. Somewhat complex airspace to work, given your FIR boundaries. CZQM does seems like a great place to work, as your staff appears top-notch. :ok:

Best regards
