Sorry guys. Just realized that I didn't post the like properly.
Re: American ATC.
Or are you sorry that Toronto isn't as important as you thought?

Re: American ATC.
oh brother, Canadian ignorance is not invisibile either.
MOST Canadians I know could not point out St Louis, Charlotte, Indianapolis, or even Vegas on a map. I hear all the time how ignorant Americans are about geography, but GMAB, Canadians are just as stupid.

Re: American ATC.
The controller should have responded "you are flying all the way to Spain?"

Re: American ATC.
Fair enough, I'd agree, but most Canadians don't particularly need to know where St. Louis or Charlotte is. As a pilot or ATC I would think they would have a better idea than your average joe.Jack In The Box wrote:oh brother, Canadian ignorance is not invisibile either.

Re: American ATC.
Your comment is valid and a fair one. I will respond by saying that, regardless, I don't think one person represents the whole. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy_of_divisionFighterPilot wrote:Fair enough, I'd agree, but most Canadians don't particularly need to know where St. Louis or Charlotte is.

Re: American ATC.
Actually, the American controller was right and the Air Canada pilot was wrong. IAG->YYZ 319.0° (NW) not NNE
Re: American ATC.
Oh no, the controller only had a vague idea where The Center Of The Universe was, when it's WAY outside of his area of responsibility. Most Canadians west of Quebec probably only have a vague idea of where the Atlantic provinces are.
Wouldn't that be Italy?Panama Jack wrote:The controller should have responded "you are flying all the way to Spain?"
