Having bitten my tongue long enough I have a question for
nginear . Do you understand the difference between fact and hearsay?
Definition
hearsay [Show phonetics]
noun [U]
information you have heard, although you do not know whether it is true or not:
Obviousely logged in the a/c log book. The incident was reported to the Air Traffic Manager by another controller who was not there at the time and therefore could not report himself not knowing the true facts. However it did happen and not reported by the ATCO concerned.
No facts there just:
Myself and my colleagues discussed this post
And for
qcode I assume that you're aware that ATC has its own HF organisation, there are at least 10 HF experts which work for my company, 2 of whom I have worked closely with. They deal in facts not supposition and rumour. I can never recall either of them saying that they'd heard from their mate Bill down the pub that his mate Chalkie had heard about this problem with the ATC screens and you need to get it fixed.
