At MAN a few days ago - Aeroplane X complained about taxi route, Ground simply replied
" I do the controlling, you do the flying" Oh, how we laughed. ATC 1 - White Hatter - 0 :E |
What really stirs some anger in me is when I'm working on the director freq with 7 a/cs turning, reducing speed, intercepting locs, descending (blahblahblahblah all the time), and my fellow radars send me aircraft with a "contact director, callsign only", and the answer is something like "hello good afternoon radar, this is airline123, an A320 with info lima, descending fourthousand out of five, speed 220 on a radar heading of 160 and we are anytime ready for a visual approach |
@dreamland: It might as well be heard... but thoroughly ignored ;)
Some months ago we had a C182 IFR travelling through the area, taking half an hour crossing the paths of an unholy number of quite bigger in- and outs. Inconvenient to begin with, the pilot wasn't listening, it took an average of three calls to get a reaction. He sounded like a nice chap though, until, after some "aircraft x, i say again, turn right h123 for separation", the reply was, "Sorry for not listening carefully, but don't you think I have something more important to do in here?" Quite baffled, half-wondering if the pilot was in trouble or something, my colleage said nothing. Still, the good-bye was something like, G: aircraft x, would you do me a favour? A: of course, go ahead G: Please, next time take the train. Would be healthier for both of us. |
