Granted YBCG isn't the best place to do abinitio training, I believe your much better off at a CTAF.

Nevertheless, if ATC believe the instructor has been slack regarding the student's radio work then this should be something that is discussed between ATC and the training organisation/instructor away from the student. It's basic professional courtesy.

I had an interesting experience in a previous career in heavy motor vehicles. After I failed a driving test, entirely my fault, a heated verbal stouch ensued between the trainer and the tester due to previous history. Both reported the other, both were reprimanded and I was left with no respect for either.

I trained and then instructed out of Cooly for almost three years and had nothing but the utmost respect for the (then) controllers.

Filing a report on the guy for a brief slip if indeed that's what it was seems a bit of an over-reaction to me. Far better sorted out over the phone like gentlemen.

Almost all students are crap at RT to start with and we all had to learn. It needs give and take on both sides.

Oh Please!

It is surprising the Tower cabin at MC doesn’t shake every time you fly near it in your B737. Controllers are particularly scared of B737’s because they seem to be able to shove it up them better than anybody else.

I walked past a controller limping the other day, and asked him what was wrong. Apparently, he had been “dereked”, and “zooed” for using the wrong tone on the radio. Only 900 controllers to go; the world will be a better place soon, thanks to you!!

Q. The question is what happens to B737 drivers when their heads get to big for the cockpit? Where do they get sent?

A. Brisbane City Council Bus Service??

Lets not fool ourselves here.

No one in the GC tower is going to loose any sleep over the opinion of an incompetent **** from the flying school are they.

Everyone knows that the GC tower guys are very professional and top blokes.

The supervisor with whom you have lodged your complaint will be having as big a laugh at you as the rest of us.

You have once again proven you are a fool.

Go slap a few more gold bars on your shoulder, see if that makes you feel any bigger.

No1Dear

And slagging the original poster off in a public forum (after he seems to have disappeared in the knowledge he was wrong) helps.................how?

The general concensus here is that he overreacted. He seems to have got the message and hopefully will have learned a lesson. Calling him names is really allowing yourself to be dragged to a lower level and I'm sure you're better than that.

Ah, PPRuNe! You gotta love it don't ya!

:rolleyes: OK kiddies, Breathe.....Bad air out, good air in.......mmmm, that's better. Now we can all relax :cool:
