whilst he tells Lagos a little white lie about being in contact with the next station and an even bigger little not so white lie about being on the airway and gets a higher level.
Nice one guys,
. I believe telling a few little white lies to ATC to get ahead of your competitors is totally unprofessional and completely dangerous. ATC relies on accurate aircraft performance data and position reports to provide safe spacing between aircrafts in a non radar environment.
The lack of TCAS equipped aircraft does not even help matters. The few aircraft that have TCAS on board have been known to take RA evasive manoeuvres.
It only takes a few white lies and a bit of bad luck to end up with a mid air collision, if this kind of behaviour continues it will only be a matter of time. This is nothing to be proud off; our reputation is already in tatters.
Please be professional.
