Once again
nginear avoids the answer about what those actually involved in the 'incident' did.
I heard of an incident where two jets on final approach got so close that the 2nd one had to be broken off by the watch manager who was working the approach radar position but transmitted on the tower frequency to give the instructions. The incident was reported to the Air Traffic Manager who then failed to report to the CAA or pursue any further action. The watch manager then reported to the air traffic manager that the initial reporter of the incident had attended work under the influence of alchohol. The reporting person was then suspended and subsequently resigned. So to me it is be carefull who reports what.
Your story doesn't make sense. First of all we have the Watch Manager taking control and sorting out the incident. In which case, why didn't he/she file a report direct with the CAA as per the law ?? Then we have the incident being reported to the ATS Manager. Was this by the Tower Controller ?? Someone else ?? Did they file direct with the CAA as per the law ??
No good these people blaming non reporting on the ATS Manager when the legality is that the responsibility for doing so ultimately lies with them. Did you 'hear' why they didn't report things to the CAA then ??
Or is it simply some attempt to sling mud at the ATS Manager ?? Time to put up or shut up on this issue.
