There is no penalty for failing to make the required FAA reports or investigation!

Is it only pilots who are held accountable?

The author has good prose for s**t-stirring. I know there are many times
that a full investigation was not instigated when it should have been. For
that I am GLAD! Those investigations would have been about me.

So you feel that ATC failing to perform duties REQUIRED by
regulations/orders is a good thing?

I suspect that you too have been cut some slack for your mistakes from
ATC a time or two.

There are times when ATC has discretion in reporting an incident. The
reporting of NMACs isn't one of them. The subject incident was
clearly an attempt to cover up ATC incompetence.
