Sorry guys, for returning to the thread.
Just a couple of questions more:
Were both controllers in close proximity to each other (in the same room) although being on different freqs.? Even so, how is it possible to synchronize departures/arrivals with each other when they're listening to different things and trying to keep their own work list flowing? Is there any form of signaling rwy in use, or do they just shout to each other "Hey!! Now its my turn!" ?!
Is there any more examples of bad systems implementation, similar to this or not, you know and would like to share with us?
(why wait 12 to 14 months for the proper authorities to publish new recomendations when the pro's from either side of the R/T fence could help debugging/defusing situations with a high risk potential such as this IMHO).
