The other day I was flying over the bay of Bengal. There was a very irritated QATAR chappy complaining to Chennai information that he had to repeat his position three times to three different controllers in the space of 3 minutes.
He went on to remind the individual on the radio that he sits in the same room with three other guys, and should be able to communicate position reports to one another.
Very entertaining, though this Skygod, definitely from the land of corned beef on white bread and mayonnaise, needed to be reminded to lighten up and remember that he was no longer in Kansas.
To which Captain Skygod’s response was,
Perhaps these guys need to find another line of work if they can’t get their act together.
All my F/O and myself could say is WOW! Good luck to you Captain Skygod where ever you may be and be sure to win friends and influence others with that attitude.
