Overload, I consider that you have raised a discussion point completely professionally. Having been a BHD controller in the past and subsequentally a BHD CSC the problems that you have raised are completely valid. We are able to cope with Concorde solely because there are only 2 a day. Imagine if the projections of the 1960's were correct and there had been 40-50 a day! I suspect that your severest critics would have been totally unable to cope with that level. I know that I, even when radar valid, would have been totally out of my depth in that situation. It is very easy to criticise others who have the honesty to admit their shortfalls and limits!! I certainly would not have been able to radar control at LATCC over the age of 50. I WILL NOT CRITICISE SOMEONE WHO DOES
