Most of the boys, even more the gals, sitting on the ground in the UK are A-OK! But comparing jobs?? Sorry, Don't agree. Yes pushing buttons is very easy, but not all pilots enjoy that luxury ...
Out of curiosity, how long is the shift for a controller @ EGLL ?
Thanks guys, keep up the good work & no more BIG holds, please ?


I'll have a polished Magnum please :eek: :(

Oh,.... forgot to mention I have no idea what the workload of an atc'er is, so I obviously can't comment about workloads. However I certainly wouldn't like to have to deal with as much as you guys do. Keep up the good work but forgive me my sins.
