Because he was !!!! scared of the windshear on the other runway.

I heard there is an interesting article in the Namibian Sun Newspaper.:E

Could somebody please obtain the article and PM it or maybe place it here?:oh:

Wondering what is going on there?:ugh:

freeksy same article as by properpellerpilot on this forum. http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthr...=308173&page=2:ugh: Highly unethical of the journalist, quoting "aviation experts" who have no knowledge of air traffic control.:confused:

Also heard rumors that an ATC failed to report for duty last night, leaving the shift severly understaffed.:=

Staff shortage
 

What is that?:yuk:

As per various other posts... When last was a full days shift in Windhoek staffed as required? How many nights in the last month were worked like the one in question... (do you need examples?):D

And you are leading by example!!!! ....... :{ Enjoy Germany:ok:

Many months have now passed... I would suspect that things have improved significantly...

Right?

Just received bad news. My application was turned down, although I meet all the requirements. Heard that they have recruited 8 new candidates. It appears that they have new sailors now, but still left with the old capatin steering the ship. Heard that the ship is still floating. Anybody know for how long?

So Voel.... (no pun intended this time)

I hear disturbing rumours. Tell me its not true!

Our colleague who likes to hide behind his incompetancies as far as air traffic control is concerned, by calling everybody around him who has a lesser tan than himself, a racist, had a serious airprox the other day?

Almost took out two 1900's? hmmmm? Is it true?

And more disturbing.... I understand that no action whatsoever is taken against him? Even after he tried to "hide" the incident and didnt report it as the law requires?

And to put the cherry on the top... I understand that his licence wasn't even valid? oops.... Did I say too much?

Fellow aviators, take note, and put pressure on the DCA... Else you might be killed when the circus comes to your town...

PS: And never ever dare to call it "windhoek information", as its supposed to be called "windhoek control"... Although not much controlling takes place at times!

" Is this party at the same location where the telephone lines got burned??
(+-13 Years ago) "

Yup, that was one of our better parties :E

Last time I was on Eros I saw they've torn our old hangar down, and the spot where we lit that (in)famous fire has now been paved and has aeries parked on it... :(

You ATC's were great when I was there! Jochen, Roland, Misha, Andres 1 and 2, Jackie, Rico, Susanne, all the others whose names I've forgotten.
Sad to hear it's become so bad. Wish you guys well.

Eish, going from bad to worse!

birdie
 

Heard a birdie sing that some other licence was also not valid...
Some sailor having to explain to some *andstripe lawyer.

And so it continues.... A whole lot of bark and no bite....

And to Voel... You dont seem to deny any of those allegations made by "worn chair"? Could it be true that some of your controllers work without valid licences?

Very disturbing! Is this what industry pays fees for?

Voel told me it does not help to bark and bite anymore without the support of management :{. I believe that management from the Minister down to the Director are new and pretty ignorant of what's going on.:ugh:

Ou ja forgot, is it true abc.fp, that this character refused to be investigated by the safety officer (just because of racial issues).

There's huge back log in incident inevestigations. :\ Hopefully some outside assistance will get rid of that:D. Chances for cover-up is therefore non-negotiable.:=

Its just weird to me, and I see this in many businesses...

There is always one person who gets away with murder. No-one is prepared to clip their wings. They can do and say whatever they want, and get away with it.

But as someone I know always says, give them enough rope, and they'll hang themselves. Well I'm waiting in anticipation.

Waste
 

How much more good tallent will be wasted?
