That is TOTALLY not true. I find IAH very easy to deal with.
Ok fair enough, just unfriendly to me then. Been there 3 times and
without exception, had difficulties with the controllers everytime.
First their attitude was like I was wasting their time. Secondly "keep
your speed up" means something entirely different to me than to them.
To me it means don't slow down until you absolutely have to, to them it
means hurry up and get out of the way. Lastly, when they figured out
that they can't get rid of me they vectored me all over the country side
and back.
I remember crossing the numbers at 110 kias and simultaneously hearing
tower call please expedite. The only way the warrior gets any faster is
straight down. Thank goodness for the 10K' rwys. A lot depends upon
the active rwy and how busy the controllers are.
Just my 2 cents.
