But if you really want to get into a ****ing contest about german
controllers....




there was this guy in Frankfurt who cleared me to take off when we were
still on the taxiway, almost a half a mile from the end of the runway.
We accepted, and then did our checks. We lined up, and just to be sure,
asked him once again if we were cleared for takeoff... He freaked on us
and started this minute long tirade about how he had cleared us and how
we had wasted time now asking again.

Still not as bad as the Swiss controller who had 3 aircraft and managed
to run 2 of them together.

Well actually he was Danish, even if he worked for the Swiss ATC, and he
paid dearly for his mistake.
