Some bad controllers

As long as the strip is there and must be disposed of manually, then I
wouldn't automate it.

Were you under the impression that they wouls eventually get up and walk
away on their own?


Actually that is not required for there to be "no action" taken on a
(hypothetical) strip at a (hypothetical) facility. If the strip were abandoned
(no action), and then the cleaning crew came and swept the place (action, but
not by the FAA), the strip would (as far as ATC is concerned) have gotten up
and walked away on its own. Were this the case, the problemes alluded to would
likely occur.

Things don't work that way. But giving paper the breath of life is not the
only way things might not work the way they do, so that problems that don't
occur would. g
