Default 23 July OSH accident audio

Steven,


When aircraft are instructed to hold they're supposed to be issued a time
when they can proceed beyond the holding point. ATC obviously couldn't know
how long the airport would be closed, but they did know why it was closed
and issuing that information would have given pilots an idea how long the
delay would be.



So the pilots would have known what the controllers didn't? How?


Really professional controllers do these things not just
because they're required, but also because it's good procedure.



To imply that the OSH controllers are anything but professional is ridiculous.


How extensive is your ATC experience?
