I agree. I'm not defending the decision to fly 30 degrees off-center
to the threshold. But, I do wonder whether we have all the
information that would allow us to reach a conclusion that it was an
error, as opposed to a poor choice?

Not sure what you mean there. All we can base our observations on is
what Jim has posted. He's specifically said that the controller told
him to be at a position that he never wound up at. That's an error
AND a poor choice.

You're placing the entire responsibility on Jim. Interesting that Steven's
replies do not. Since he stated that he is a tower controller, I think I'd
go with his interpretation of Jim's situation. Of course, the plot only
thickens if you are *both* ATCs. ;-)
