I wonder what motivated the writing of the article, at this time. Absent new information, what is the point?
I agree with Dick's argument that the pilot didn't know what the pilot didn't know. The pilot didn't know how long it was going to take to get a clearance.
What's the WX beyond YWLM got to do with getting a clearance through YWLM?
I thought the problem in YWLM was the extreme risk posed by one other bugsmasher miles away on the same track and level as requested by MDX.
