And if the pilot would have landed and caused a loss of separation the
FAA would have hammered that facility for only having one controller
working. After that reaming if it would have been me I would have had
my passenger say "kiss my ass".


I've been wondering about the "second" controller. It's always been my
understanding that there is supposed to be 2 on duty, every controll tower
I've ever visited always had at least 2. Although at that particular time,
he only had 2 aircraft in the air, he was also talking to me and the fellow
behind me on the ground, a guy on clearance delivery, and a helicopter
inbound. I never heard the "second" controllers voice. Maybe #2 was taking
a #2?
