World. You have missed the point. The controller was following the rules. He did offer direct tracking after the hold.
He is not allowed to use modern proven safe procedures because he reports to dopes.
He must know this but can do little other than resign- which the good ones obviously do.
I wonder just how many of those deaths overseas are caused by this type of terrible leadership - never ever ask or take advice. - we know everything.
And I am on the Controllers side- I say again I find our military controllers as good as any in the world. They are forced to work with unique rules that treat them as if they are stupid.
Are you suggesting that I should not tell the truth because controllers know my call sign?
Maybe you , but not me!
