A tower controller has NEVER been killed because of their screw up. It is
always the
pilot who bites the dust. When I stated a 360 for spacing was my first
choice I never
said I wasn't going to make a radio report to the tower, in fact That has
happened to
me before and as I started my 360 the tower was notified by me, it is then
up to them
to fix the mess they created.
Yup, just as it's up to them to fix the messes pilots create.
I am going home alive, **** on the incompetent tower controller who
stuffed a plane
right in front of me after I was cleared to land.
Was spacing a problem?
Funny ol Steven P. Mc Nicoll threw in the side line of tower operators not
making
enough money, and there will be a shortage of them because of it. One day
he might
even admit a controller actually made a mistake and a pilot fixed it and
lived to fly
again.
Me? Admit a controller made a mistake? I'm as likely to do that as you are
to admit a pilot made a mistake.
I have to admit he can quote all the rules and seems up to speed on
traffic flows
and probably was a great controller before he became mighter then the rest
of
us. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He still is.
