I wouldn't waste to much time thinking about his problem. In a nutshell,
racism and sexism is basically a result of plain old ignorance. Ron Lee The more mememe (aka oldfart) posts about this subject, the more I begin to wonder if he has had a license revoked for some unwise act. And the administrator that wrote him up was probably a black, female controller. If that's the case, based on his recent display of knowledge and understanding, she probably did us all a great favor. Does anyone else start to reach the same conclusion? |

The point they missed is that if they have people in Indiannpolis (a busier facility, higer pay) not doing anything, isn't cheaper to have a second guy in Lexington (smaller facility, lower pay) doing the same job and taking some of Indiannoplis' work? I bet politics has something to do with it. The Center can pick up the work at night quite effeciently. |

The nightly traffic reported for LEX doesn't seem to be enough to keep the tower open, I assumed it was a 24 hour facility just to provide radar coverage in that area. If Center radar covers that area adequately then the tower and TRACON should have been closed. Comair would then have crashed while attempting takeoff on the wrong runway at an uncontrolled field and the media would have no controller to shift responsibility to. |

Maybe you understand why the FAA would keep a tower open 24 hours to only provide TRACON services. Why not keep the TRACON open, but close the tower if keeping radar coverage in that area is important? |

Why not keep the TRACON open, but close the tower if keeping radar coverage in that area is important? Why not do both, since the radar services can be provided from the tower at no additional cost? |
