Probably. So for everyone in the area - here's how you can get back
at them.

Thinking about shooting some practice approaches? MMU is a good place
for it. Thinking of going someplace to get those controlled field
landings in? Maybe some pattern work? MMU is a good place for it.

Controller status (including pay) is determined by the NUMBER of
operations at the facility, not the type. Every time that controller
tells you "Cleared for touch&go" that's two operations. A good
controller can really keep that pattern hopping. Of course that's
exactly the kind of place the bizjet pilot prefers to avoid - and he's
the guy Signature is depending on.

So make it a point to make MMU the center for student training. Get
that operations count up. The controllers will love you. As for
Signature - well, they don't care about us, so why should we care
about them?
