Widower stabbed Air Traffic Controller?
"Stefan" wrote in message
... I know that the whole idea of the hierarchic structure involved was that the controller should trust that the established and approved workflow was reasonable. The person doing the job who must have the final say as to whether they feel they can do the job satisfactorily. In this situation, some of the equipment in the ATC facility was out of action. Not enough, by all accounts, necessarily to make it dangerous to work the facility, but some. It would be perfectly reasonable for someone who was comfortable working a fully staffed facility with normal levels of functioning equipment to say, in the event of staffing/equipment shortages: "Sorry, I just don't feel I can provide a safe service in this set of circumstances". The hierarchic structure is not there to allow the guy on the ground to trust that everything will be OK. In this case it's there to solve the problem of someone saying: "Sorry guys, I can't operate this as I don't think I can do so safely". D. |
