I find that absolutely appalling.
That’s quite a policy the FAA have implemented there, can you point me in the direction where this FAA policy is published?
Rumour has it their union doesn’t want pilots “looking over the controller’s shoulders”
Any source to this rumour?
It appears the flight crew saved the day in spite of ATC
I haven’t read the full report, was that the published conclusion?
Sorry, I don’t want to dig you out on every post Aterpster but I wonder if cheap shots and ?made up? rumours really advance the exchange of information here and flight safety in general.
