Was flying the Fokker F28 out of Dar for ATC for 18 months during which time I had filed numerous airmiss reports, ATC indiscretions all resulting in little or no change. It wasn't uncommon to find yourself cleared to land in Dar with another a/c cleared to land on the opposite runway. When I made a comment to ATC on the radio that this might be considered dangerous and what action would he request in the event of a go around for both aircraft! The resulting sounds of silence were deafening. It does make for interesting flying but sadly there is a very real danger that it could start raining aluminium. I pray it never does. I attended many TCAA safety meetings with all the other operators, believing that there was going to be change, but apparently the status remains quo.
So to all my flying colleagues up there, do not hold back - continue to complain, file reports and make noise. Doing nothing could be costly.
Fly safe
