Cambioso

strange topic considering im starting with my PPL next week. I myself would eventually want to fly for an airliner in my spare time.

I do however struggle to understand the part where you say we as ATC are preventing other pilots from flying/or persons that want to fly from flying. I have never heared flying companies or control towers ever complain that they have enought people to man the pools or fill the cockpits. I see this as a great way 4 the aviation community to help each other out, while gaining experience on the other side of the freq.

Medeusa,

Knowing Cambioso, like some of us unfortunately do, it is said with heavy irony!

HD may remember a certain ex Heathrow and ex Farnborough controller who also flew; initials were BM. He was seen taxying a Tiger Moth across the grass solo one day by walking at the wingtip (for directional control) and occasionally nipping over to the cockpit to give it a burst of power!
