Here is all it takes to work depatures at A80 , "XXX radar contact" , "XXX contact atl center " wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry i got to weight in on this, KATL A80 is the biggest one trick pony in the ATC world and never took any great skills to work a 2 flow airport with with little to no SAT traffic. When i got to C90 our the C90 7110 had 14 different arrival depature confg we had to know. Then add the South SAT mess we had with KMDW that made C90 KORD a REAL controllers place to work .and we did it without a bunch of gy FMS SID/STARS. Here is all it takes to work depatures at A80 , "XXX radar contact" , "XXX contact atl center " wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the problem is C90 KORD has been castrated just like the rest of the ATC world ................................. That is all carry on !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. if passion for my home ATC makes me a dik well so be it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's nice to see that controllers also do the "mine's bigger" thing.

DUDE we are worse than a bunch of old ladys in a sewing circle !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unless you work U90 TRACON, you probably don't know anything about controlling in busy airspace. Especially when horrible WX is nearby.
And ORD tower could probably learn a thing or two about ground control efficiency from the folks at RYN tower.

The old joke we had with U90 that was before the tower tracon split ,when i was at DMA was that when ever it went IFR the doors of the tracon would lock so the controllers couldnt run out !!! didnt happen often but when it did man was it UGLY.

Whoops looks like i offended the LARGE TRACON crowd with my little tracon views .
Slow down, breathe, and try again.
I have no idea what you just said.
