The Lexington ATC was NOT doing traffic count after he cleared Comair 5191 for takeoff

It would, of course, be a poor review to you.


I have nothing to do with it. Your review is poor because it shows things
that did not happen. The LEX controller never called ZID for a release of
any IFR departure during the period covered by the tape.



The point from an accident review standpoint is that he had those
activities.


Wrong. He did not have those activities, the ZID/LEX Letter of Agreement
states, "Aircraft may be cleared without coordination if Tower has a
computer flight plan."



They were some kind of handoff contact and, in the context of his
workload, that is all that is pertinent.


There was no handoff contact. The LEX ATCT controller called the ZID LEX
sector controller just once, to coordinate a heading. His workload was
light throughout the period covered by the tape.
