A report of this sort has to be passed to the relevant authorities as they are the guardians of public safety. By not doing so the person was making a decision that he was not entitled to make.
You should support Andrew in what he has done. If you don't I would suggest you are either someone with a guilty concience of having been part of the problem in the report or you are part of the management trying to cover it up
Ummmm i though the report was commissioned by NATS and was being passed to the CAA? At what point did the BBC become the "guardians of public safety"?
I'm not management (thank god) but its the way its come about, if have problems with the way my sector is run i go to the appropriate people and talk about and/or put in a report, not run to the media because people won't listen to me.
