Thanks, last time I tried that, I couldn't swing a golf club for a month. I got a T-shirt that says I spent my vacation at the physical therapy clinic.....snowman said:If there are any ATC'ers on here you should pat yourself on the back.
Good times,

You're kidding, right? If not, that's the stupidest thing I've ever read. I the freq is extremely busy, and you can't get a word in....then it's one thing if THEY call YOU first....but to do that on every sector is just incredibly stupid and wastes time for ATC and the rest of us on freq!ultrarunner said:Yep. I take the freq. change, hit the button, and wait for 'em to call me.

Do vectors or speed reduction usually produce more seperation (especially when you have to maintain something retarded like 20 miles in-trail)? Ive watched reactions of guys I've flown with and it seems 10 left or 20 right is way less painful than, "maintain 250 knots for spacing".
FracCapt, I think ultrarunner was being a bit humorous. However, there's been many times I sincerely appreciated the crew that stayed silent while I pulled my ass or someone else's out of the fire. The worst thing anyone can do is block three readbacks trying to "cut in" during a busy session. Not to mention, it puts me in an surly mood...FracCapt said:You're kidding, right?
