Doesn't mean they're the best though Canoehead, just means they have more planes to make an arse of it with :}

Totally agree with the sentiments regarding Leartit though

C130 co-pilot? obviously a man of little ambition or ability. Probably done 99% of his flying in the circuit at HMP Wootton Basset

This could be a whole new thread....

At what point does one consider oneself knowledgeable enough to step forward and be identified as an "expert", such as DL is a renowned "aviation expert".

Sort of interesting article, but with some terrible rubbish thrown in, and some bluidy awful sweeping generalisations from Mr L....:rolleyes:

As to ATCOs boring-ness, or otherwise. Once upon a time, there was a little tiff between one of our pilots and the ATC in EDI (our home base). Company told me to smooth things over. Got together with the ATC folks, we agreed some sort of social event where everyone could meet face-to-face would be a good thing :p

We got a goodly sum of money from our company to fund this, and they did the same from theirs. We agreed to meet at dusk with cases of champagne at the ready, followed by a very fine slap up meal somewhere in town.

Diplomatic relations were resumed, judging by the party.... I seem to remember there was enough champagne that we had to finish it off after the meal so it didn't go to waste.

This is a crisis
What does Blind Controller mean in your link ,what does that handle use for ?

can somebody inform NATS that it has been 20 and odd years since the breakup of Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Soviet Union ;) the Germany is united though.... (oceanic flights display)
