ATC failure in Memphis
See
http://us.cnn.com/2007/US/09/25/memp...afu/index.html Was it truly an accident? It sure happens at a convenient time for those who want to fuel the argument that there's something wrong with ATC. However, the incident could be used for both pro and con arguments, depending on how it is spun, i.e., one could argue that "ATC lacks the resources it needs," or that "ATC needs to be replaced by something new." |

One, it doesn't matter to you, since you don't fly. Two, things like this happen. Wildfires in SoCal and Palmdale come to mind. That's why there are LOAs in place with adjacent sectors to handle things like this. IF you do the research you say you do, you'd know and realize this.

ATC failed due to commercial phone lines going down, so we need to
replace ATC ???? How simply about replacing the part that failed with something more robust.. I can see us spending 10 billion dollars for a whole new ATC structure - that still depends on Ma Bell's 1912 phone lines... denny |

Hey Anthony, we get CNN here in the states- you don't need to re-post stuff that's already on the news. Do you suffer from the view that all readers of this newsgroup are 'here in the states [sic]'? -- Craig |

That's why there are LOAs in place with adjacent sectors to handle things like this. I don't think CNN bothered to mention that. IF you do the research you say you do, you'd know and realize this. I'm not the one who controls or influences the money or the policy of U.S. aviation. You might want to share your research with those who do. |

Anthony (the OP) is an ex-pat American who lives in France. He is not a pilot or physician, but likes to offer up pronouncements on a wide range of topics, including breast feeding. A few months ago he asked if a Baron had an ejection seat. Now, he is a self proclaimed expert. An excellent example of an attempt at spin. Now apply that same principle to the topic under discussion. |
