Bob Richards Live on CNN Tomorrow
« on: October 31, 2007, 03:12:26 PM »
The author of "Secrets from the Tower" will be interviewed live on CNN Tomorrw at 8:15AM ET.

In an email from Bob:

The interview with CNN will be tomorrow morning, live at about 8:15 am EST so 7:15 for you Midwesterners.
I'm not sure of the exact nature of the interview except it will probably concentrate on the "traveling nightmares" segment. Anchor John Roberts willl do the iinterview.

I caught the interview this morning and I gotta be honest...he didn't do too well. Now it could be that CNN edited in a way that wasn't very flattering but Bob seemed all over the place in his responses. Don't get me wrong, I am controller friendly and know that the government bureaucracy in ATC is a joke (especially since Blakely), but he should have been more prepared - OR - found someone else to sit in front of the camera to discuss the woes of ATC.  :|

I hope his book is better than his interview.

Thanks for the link.

I don't agree with him that staffing is the number one cause of delays, but I do agree that it's a part of the problem.

And, I thought he made perfect sense in how he explained it, however, I understood already how the system works. To explain it from square one, to somebody that was totally unaquainted with the subject, would take more time than he was given.
