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? Matt |

I'm not an ATC specialist so I'm not in as good a position to judge as is Steven, since he is an ATC professional. It certainly sounds like they were deficient during the incident under discussion. I likely wouldn't describe them as you have above in general, but it sounds like they had a temporary lapse in judgement. Matt |

Even "a professional" can execute the activity in a more professional or less professional manner. I've seen this demonstrated nicely @ KDXR on a busy weekend. As I was handed off from "the PROFESSIONALS" @ BDL approach to "the professional" @ DXR tower, the difference was very clear. One individual was top notch, fully on top of his game, and very "professional", while the other should have been fired, as he let his Delta airspace degrade to a very busy CTAF. Any more hairs to split? G |
