Lgw Gar/mor
Was sitting at the hold at LGW yest (Fri 10th) lunchtime when I saw an airbus initiate a GAR due runway being occupied by a 777. Quite busy at the time with numerous arrivals/depatures. Tower controller clearly working his nuts off trying to get as many deps away without interfering with inbound traffic. Anyway, as the bus vacates 8R after second successful approach and is instructed to go to 121.8, he advises chap in tower that he is going to file an MOR for said GAR. This may or may not be an SOP but it didn't do anything to improve the tower controller's day!!!! Could the intention to file the MOR not have been notified by a phonecall to the SATCO once AC gated rather than being done so publicly? I may be making more of this than is necessary (in which case I apologise for wasting people's time), but the contoller was under a great deal of pressure (it seemed to me) and was undeserving of what appeared to be a public rebuke.
