Some thoughts from a controller

[G2T]

Have you ever, once in your entire flying career asked ATC to repeat an altitude? Heading? frequency? transponder code? verify your landing clearence?

Never, ever, not even once? Really? well you're perfect, go ahead and feel free to get pissy if ATC is less than perfect. It's your right.

For the rest of us who don't always get it right the first time, every time, maybe we can cut ATC a little slack when they don't catch everything we say.

Hey, relax. The original post did a little venting so I did a little rant of my own. No disrespect meant, we all screw up, and I am not afraid to admit I screw up my fair share of the time. My point on the clearnce thing is not that we don't screw up, its just that I can do eight legs in a day dealing with wheels up and flow control, we get frustrated too. The two groups have to work together to get people to their destinations, but it doesn't mean EITHER of us understand EVERYTHING the other is doing.

Don't you mean YOU are paying to play by the hour?

Wrong. Get your facts straight son, then call me back.

What type of a post was that? What does that even mean?
