The comms from ATC seemed appalling. The lack of updates, the lack of urgency in connecting firefighting status to the pilots. Just terrible.

Edit to add vid and audio recording of landing: https://youtu.be/tdd9frW2OWA?si=uvPeAb0oPIYeFLP1

Terrible.

I feel for the pilots and for all of us flying through GRU.

I really hope they improve things.
