To tie into the comair thread, that controller did his job with issuing a clearance and turning his back
the LAX tower controller did much more. warning in some detail of something that all pilots should concern themselves with...FLAME. And then assuming a return to LAX would be the next thing...this controller was thinking ahead.
yet both are employed and trained by the same FAA.
and somehow we can complain about both's actions.
to any controllers out there...it is easier to cancel the crash wagons than to not have them out when you need them.
more help is probably better than not enough.
and I guess I would prefer to fly in and out of LAX than LEX...what a difference an "A" makes. (sung to the tune of , "what a difference a day makes".
